The DMS Student Council has launched an exciting t-shirt fundraiser with a noble cause. All the proceeds from the sales of these t-shirts will be directed towards supporting The Backpack Program, an initiative dedicated to providing essential food supplies to children from preschool through 12th grade over the weekends.
About The Backpack Program
The Backpack Program plays a crucial role in ensuring that children who rely on school meals during the week do not go hungry when schools are closed. Local churches and nonprofit organizations have been the backbone of this program, offering financial support. However, with the recent increase in both the number of children needing assistance and the rising cost of food, maintaining the program has become more challenging.
The Need for Fundraising
This t-shirt fundraiser aims to bridge the financial gap that has emerged as a result of these increased demands. By purchasing a t-shirt, community members can contribute directly to the purchase of food supplies, ensuring that no child in the program goes without the nourishment they need over the weekends.
