FAMILY HOMESTEAD BACK-TO-SCHOOL PROJECT 2017

WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!

Every year FHS partners with volunteers to provide backpacks, clothing and school supplies for the school age children in our Emergency and Transitional Housing programs. Since last year, we have acquired new units and our program is expanding; this means we will need even more assistance from the community to meet the needs of the children.

HOW IT WORKS:
Contact Shalene Onyango at shalene@familyhomestead.org or (303) 274-4883 and let her know you are interested in participating and how many children you would like to buy back packs, clothing and school supplies for.

Donors will receive the first name of each child/ren along with the age, gender, grade entering, clothing sizes, and any favorite styles or colors. We ask donors to supply two NEW school outfits for each child including underwear, socks, shoes, and a lightweight jacket or sweater if needed. No used or "general" clothing items, please. A backpack and school supplies for each child are also requested. We can provide a general list of school supplies if you would like one.

Spending guidelines for clothing are as follows: up to $100 for elementary children and up to $150 for anyone wearing adult sizes. The cost of school supplies is extra. For financial accountability reasons, we do not accept gift cards.

We are currently assigning kiddos to volunteers.
