Fayette DFACS Updates Needs for Upcoming School Year

This is an update for the needs of our children for the upcoming school year:

We are continuing to take requests from DFCS case workers and soon will get requests from school counselors for children who need school supplies. I am attaching a generic list for those of you who might want to help with this project and have not contacted me yet. So far, we have 173 referrals. About 100 of these are already sponsored. We anticipate serving about 450 children through this project.

We also have a school clothing project. Some of you have participated in this project, which we started in 2003. We have had 594 referrals to date, and anticipate about 20-30 requests before school starts on August 11, and a few more after school starts. These children are referred by DFCS case workers or school counselors as well. If you would like to shop for clothing for a specific child or donate a gift card, please contact me for more details, ASAP.

As always, I appreciate you so very much! You truly make a difference for families in our county. Please pass on to your circles if you think they would want to help too!
