100% of the funds needed to support this program come from community donations and 100% of donations support Friendswood ISD families in need. We could not do this program without the support and generosity of the FISD community. Thank you!

Hey friends! Any handy folks who would be interested in repairing the doors to the blessing box? We can purchase materials.

We know that it’s a huge blessing during the summer, and we hate to see anything ruined!

Message us if you can help, and we’ll make a plan!

Our Blessing Box at 111 Woodlawn was quite low when we checked today. We added a few items, but it still needs more canned and pantry goods. If you’re able to donate, your contributions would be greatly appreciated!

What a great opportunity!!
