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. |

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. |
