Foundation Communities - Back to School Drive

It's the time of year for the Foundation Communities Back to School drive. Because of the COVID-19 virus, they are shifting the focus from tangible school supplies to financial donations to provide food for low-income students who live in their communities.

85% of students served through Foundation Communities' Learning Centers rely on free meals from school during the school year. With full resources, Foundation Communities' onsite free after-school and summer programs can provide an additional daily meal to 500 students across all 14 locations.

This summer, resources have been strained. Currently, only 8 of Foundation Communities 14 Learning Centers can distribute free meals. Your support of Foundation Communities' Back to School Drive will help distribute free meals to more children who need them.
