Summer time is here, although kids are out of school the summer vacation will end rather soon, it will be time to return to school in a few short weeks. DIP understands the importance of preparing for less fortunate youth to return to school for the 2019-2020 school year with full of pride and dignity. By collecting new and gently used clothing, school supplies, under garments, socks, and other necessities. DIP has put hundreds of smiles on kids faces. Shopping for back to school items can be expensive , particularly if parents have more than one student. With the help of  community supporters DIP aims to help approximately two hundred kids with clothing such as: socks, shoes, jeans, shirts, skirts (for girls), backpacks, and school supplies. Donations of these items are now being collected and can be dropped off to DIP Outreach & Thiftique located  2078 Cassat Avenue Jacksonville, FL or by making a donation online at www.Dipfoundation.org Corporate and individual sponsors are welcome to support this cause.

As we come to the close of the first quarter in the year many have yet to accomplish goal set in the beginning of the year, while others have already set aside the goals set. Their reasons can vary from busyness, low-self esteem, fear, or perhaps a loss of hope due to their current circumstances. The Reboot your vision campaign is set to launch on May 19th to inspire individuals to rebuild, restart, rediscover, and recharge. Attendees will do this by creating their own vision board using a collage of inspiring pictures, motivating quotes, personal affirmations, and powerful words from magazines and print mediums. To that collage you can add personal photos,decorative lettering, and various embellishments to decorative lettering, and various embellishments to personalize their boards. Individuals will get their visions out of their head and have a greater clarity for the rest of 2018 & 2019. This is a great way to network and to bask in an atmosphere of positivism. Refreshments and vision board materials will be provided.
