SIFC Does Hands-on Service for Make a Difference Day

Ten SI Fort Collins representatives helped out at Homeless Gear October 23 during Make a Difference day. SIFC helped with receiving, hauling, sorting and running.  Kudos to Donna and Gene Weyer, Carol and John Clark, Bernie Fuller, Ann Rutledge, Paula Hawe, Carolyn Wade, & Judy and Allan Weaver for helping out. The folks at Homeless Gear were VERY thankful for the donations and were VERY happy to receive the sanitary products some of the SIFC members sent along.They were also VERY appreciative of the sample sized toothpastes that were donated by one member’s dentist office.

Some statistics from Homeless Gear
60% of the homeless are families and most of those are single moms with kids.
Over 900 children in the Poudre RI School District are homeless. 
The average age of a homeless person in Colorado is NINE (9).
