The Need Grows Greater
- The Denton Independent School District estimates that 40% of enrollment, or 9,150 children, live
in poverty.
-
Providing new
clothing, shoes, backpacks, and school supplies places additional financial hardship on their families each year.
The Apple Tree Project
-
In 2009, we provided 1,073 children with
a complete set of grade appropriate school supplies, a backpack, new shoes, and 2 sets of school clothing (when available).
- The goal for 2010 is to provide more than 1,000 children
with their school essentials.
How You Can Help
-
Donate: Make
a tax deductable contribution
-
Host an Apple
Tree at your church or business so staff/clients can “adopt” children.
- Adopt a child (represented as an “Apple”) form an Apple Tree Host in the community.
It is only through the generosity of the
Denton community that the needs of these children will be met.
Your help and involvement is greatly appreciated!
