The Littleton Elks Lodge #1650, along with Integrated Family Community Services (IFCS), sponsored 42 out of 300 backpacks for children in the area.
The Littleton Elks Youth Committee, through fund raising within the Lodge and individual lodge member contributions, were able to supply the backpacks full of grade-specific school supplies, such as notebooks, pencils, folders and crayons. Children from the Littleton, Englewood and Sheraton Colorado area school districts apply to receive one of these backpacks.
IFCS partners with Roonga to procure school supplies at a deep discount. This partnership makes dollars go farther and ensure every child gets exactly what their classrooms require.
“I am proud that Littleton Elks #1650 prioritize the educational needs of our K-8 community members, as an early love of learning sets these students up for success in the future, elevating the success of the entire community,” said Littleton Elks Youth Committee chairperson Tanya Apel.
