What is Shared Dreams?
Shared Dreams is a FBISD program that provides short term assistance to registered FBISD students whose needs have been determined by their campus nurse and staff. It provides clothing, shoes, toiletries, school supplies, and food throughout the year.
A few facts:
Last year Shared Dreams helped 15,000 kids in Fort Bend County. Pretty awesome, right!?
FBISD has roughly 77,000 students and 50 percent are considered economically disadvantaged - 65 percent of those that utilize Shared Dreams are elementary aged.
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! Click here to sign up. A FBISD Background Check must be completed before volunteering.
We Are Known for Rocking the Sock Drop! Here is a look at the total pairs of socks donated throughout the years:
2019 – 1,846 pairs
