Help Families Succeed This School Year

Dear Friends, 

As the new school year approaches, many families are looking forward to the new opportunities a new year brings. For others, the cost of school supplies, clothing, food, and other essentials creates added stress during an already challenging time. 

At Interfaith Works, we believe every student deserves to start the school year ready to learn and thrive. Through our Back-to-School Campaign and the IW Essential Needs Center, we're helping ensure our students and their families have the supplies and support they need to succeed. 

You can help students and their families by making a financial gift, collecting and donating new school supplies, or volunteering your time. Whether you're assisting students with finding the school supplies they need, sorting donations, or supporting families, your generosity helps the whole family begin the school year with confidence. 

As I continue my journey with Interfaith Works, I am continually inspired by your generosity. Every act of kindness reminds me that when we come together as a loving community, we create opportunities for our neighbors to move forward on their paths to stability and for children to thrive. 

Thank you for welcoming me and for standing with this community. Together, we can give every student the strong start they deserve. 

With gratitude, 

Lauren Puryear
