Back to School Supplies & Clothing Donations Needed for Underprivileged Children

 According to the National Retail Federation, the average
family spends almost $700 on children’s clothing, electronics, and back to
school supplies each year. Back to school time can be a burden on many low
income families- especially to those who have to provide clothing for more than
one child. Wouldn’t it be great if back to school shopping was easy and cheap?
Of course it would. The recent budget cuts in education tends to take a big toll
in the classroom, not only are there more students cramming into already crowded
classes, there are fewer supplies to go around. With limited supplies available
some teachers and other parents end up spending their own money to buy pencils,
pens, notebooks, and textbooks for students whose families can’t afford them. The Divine Intervention
& Prevention Foundation also know as (D.I.P.) is a non-profit organization whose core
objective is to educate and empower families to live healthy, holistic lives
without the use of violence as a recourse to solve relationship, personal, and
financial plights is seeking donations to help kids ages 5-17 gear up for
school. (D.I.P.) has
helped over 1,500 families through the Healing Hearts Jax that has lead to the organization’s
program expansion and the kickoff of the #Tools4SchoolJax clothing & school supply giveaway to be held on Saturday August 5 at
10am. To learn more
about the organization visit www.Dipfoundation.org Tools 4 School Jax supports underprivileged students in need
with back to school supplies & clothing to make sure that these kids are
excited about school and have everything they need to succeed. (D.I.P.) hopes that you will choose to
partner in helping children in Duval County return to school with the supplies
they need by bringing donations to: D.I.P. Outreach Charity Suite 2078
Cassat Avenue Jacksonville, FL 32210 The Tools 4 School Jax fundraiser
really can go along way in making the 2017-2018 school year a happier one for
teachers and students alike. Organizations, school groups, businesses, looking
to host a drive for #Tools4SchoolJax or schedule a donation pickup should contact

The pressures of celebrating the holidays sometimes causes
tempers to flare, energy levels to soar and arguments to ensue, culminating in
an explosion of domestic violence and abuse. Parties, celebrations and
festivities are everywhere and the temptation for excess can be intoxicating. Alcohol,
drugs, heightened emotions and the wrong combination of family members, are
very often contributing factors in violent holiday explosions. In fact, the
holiday season can be an exceptionally tough emotional period for many domestic
violence victims, even children. Most loving mothers will do whatever is
necessary to create a fun and festive holiday environment for her children,
however, for children living in a home where violence occurs, very often,
Christmas represents a prolonged period of trepidation due to the anticipation
of violence. D.I.P. Foundation is anon-profit that is working to
prevent and end domestic violence by developing innovative programs and events that:
“On Saturday, December 13, & Sunday
December 14 from 1 – 4pm, D.I.P. Foundation invites children
to have their pictures taken with Santa Claus! Parents will be pleased to
donate just $5 for a professional 4”x6” ready- to-display portrait at D.I.P.
Foundation Crime Prevention Studio which is located at 5301 Norwood Avenue. Pic A Fit Against violence while
celebrating the holiday season with a festive event for the whole family; free
egg nog & cookies will be served.” Upcoming Event:Free Food, Clothing, Toy Drive December 21 2PM 712 W. Duval
St Volunteers are
encouraged to join D.I.P. Foundation with its prevention of domestic violence mission
and supporting those affected by it. For more information visit: www.Dipfoundation,org to make a donation contact Angel Bree’ 904

he community & various corporate sponsors supported the D.I.P. Foundation efforts to provide clothing, food, hygiene, and toiletries for distribution to local needy families including the elderly, disabled, children and teens. Since purchasing daily living necessities can be a burden for many that are lacking in financial resources, it is not surprising that the items provided by the D.I.P. Foundation by way of its supporters are often the only resources many low-income residents will receive this season. There were over one hundred smiling faces today at the D.I.P. Foundation giveaway. Healing Hearts Campaign launch & giveaway, a national awareness & emergency needs program. The campaign is designed to inform men, women, and children about domestic violence through a series of awareness events that will take place throughout the course of 2014.
