“Children’s Fund is committed to giving our county’s vulnerable children support, opportunity and hope,” says Betty Chambers, Director of Programs at Children’s Fund. “Providing a new backpack and school supplies to foster and other vulnerable youth gives them the confidence and encouragement that they are no different from their classmates. They are worth your investment.”
