Project Backpack aims to help 500 kids
While Ready, Set, School! helped many kids with back to school needs, we have many more children whose parents either didn’t know about Ready, Set, School! program until registration was closed or lost their income prior to school starting. Project Backpack is another opportunity for these families in need. Please help us collect school supplies for them. You can drop off these supplies at either our office or one of the many convenient drop-off locations on our website by August 2, 2012 . Your donation is tax deductible.
Project Backpack aims to help 500 kids
Don’t know what items to collect or want to fill a full backpack, just contact Development and Special Events Manager Maria Pearson at Mariap@ifcs.org.
Thank you for your help!

Food Insecurity - The USDA defines it as a state in which “consistent access to adequate food is limited by a lack of money and other resources… A household is food insecure if, in the previous year, they experienced limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods.”
According to Feeding America, food insecurity is a problem. Almost 28,000 Douglas and 75,000 Arapahoe County residents (1 in 7 Coloradans) face this issue.
