Fill The Pack!
Supply America's Future
AFIN is helping America's children by giving them the supplies they need to succeed in school. A Friend in Need's "Fill the Pack! Supply America's Future" campaign brings school supplies to kids in need.
With today's economy, many families can not afford required basic school supplies like pencils, paper and markers. Last year, over a thousand children in Racine, WI lined up to receive school supplies through a city program. Hundreds were turned away because there were not enough supplies. A Friend in Need was contacted and helped deliver additional backpacks.
When a child receives a backpack, their face lights up. They are so happy knowing that on the first day of school they will be like all of the other children in their class. They have more confidence and are eager to learn. More importantly, they know that someone cares about them and wants them to succeed.
Now we're planning for the 2010-2011 school year. We're forming relationships with vendors who will help secure the best pricing on school supplies so we can reach more children. But we need your help!
Just $12 can bring a backpack filled with supplies to a student who otherwise has none.

Children Helping Children
Service Project
A Friend in Need has a special service project for your kids at school.
Brenda Rebro, Executive Director of A Friend in Need, Inc. will visit your school and share her first hand experiences of communities that don't have basic needs like clean water, food and shelter; and then work on a plan for the students to help those communities in need.
This service project is designed to empower students to
become productive citizens by sharing their talents and addressing the needs of
those around them.
If you would like the students at your child's school to participate, please contact us at info@helpafriendinneed.org
