PROVIDE SCHOOL SUPPLY SUPPORT

IFCS: A Denver Area Food Bank and More To Nourish Lives

Ready, Set, School! is an annual drive hosted by Integrated Family Community Services (IFCS) to provide new backpacks, grade-appropriate school supplies, and nutritious snacks to start the school year off strong.

We are in need of Student Sponsors and Food Support Donors to make our 2023-24 Program a Success for income qualified Kindergarten through 8th grade children in metro Denver, Colorado.

Be a Student Sponsor

Student Sponsors select from grade and gender categories to provide the needed items for participating students. IFCS partners with Roonga, which provides a way to purchase bulk supplies through a wholesale vendor at a fraction of the cost.

Be a Food and Program Support Donor

In addition to backpacks and school supplies for child(ren), the Ready, Set, School! program provides each family with fresh fruit, vegetables, and snacks to start the school year off strong. Your gift also sustains this program with much-needed funding.
Thank you for feeding young stomachs and minds!
