DLE's annual Sock Drive - a Deeds for Donald initiative - benefiting Shared Dreams begins next week. Start collecting new pairs of socks, in all sizes, that can be brought to school starting September 27.
A few facts about Shared Dreams:
Last year Shared Dreams provided assistance for 30,627 kids in Fort Bend. Pretty awesome, right!?
FBISD currently has a 44% poverty rate which equates to roughly 34,300 students who live at or below poverty level
The biggest need for elementary school kids is clothing, 60% to be exact
They welcome any and all adult volunteers at the center! You might sort clothing or shoe bins, put together an interview outfit for a high schooler, or organize shelving. One thing is promised, you won’t be bored and you’ll walk away knowing you made a difference!
The SignUp Genius link for volunteer slots at Shared Dream will be released soon. A friendly reminder that your FBISD background check must be completed before volunteering there.
