The children of Fond du Lac
County need our help again this year. Back
to School FDL is organizing a collaboration of local agencies, churches, and
caring individuals who want to make sure that no child in Fond du Lac County returns
to school in the fall without the basic supplies they need to succeed. Over
1100 children were helped last August and $30,000 start-up money is needed for
the purchase of basic supplies this year.
Fond du Lac area organizations and businesses are urged to organize
internal supply donation campaigns. Especially needed are supplies like T1 30XS
calculators and art drawing pads. A donation of $65 covers all supply costs for one child. Following
the initial fundraising campaign, Back to School FDL plans to host additional fundraising
events like the popular Fill the Bus program.
Individual
donations can be mailed to Back to School FDL, c/o Loaves & Fishes, P.O.
Box 644, Fond du Lac, WI 54936-0644.
Checks should be made out to Loaves & Fishes with Back to School FDL
on the memo line. Donations of $500 or
more will be recognized in a press release after the August 23 distribution. For
more information, check us out and like us on Facebook at ‘backtoschoolFDLarea’.
