Every summer our Orlando community partner, Pauline Jackson, organizes her mammoth “Back to School Jamboree”… a giveaway event where she hands out backpacks, school supplies and uniforms to as many as 500 low income children whose families visit her food pantry. Through individual donations, Family-to-Family raises the funds for those items, which we purchase and have sent to Pauline in time for her giveaway. This year we provided 500 backpacks filled with supplies, 250 additional packets of paper, and $3,000 for school uniforms. Read more here.
