Locker Program
For 15 years we have worked to provide necessities to students in Kootenai County that aren't able to acquire them readily at home. This includes toiletries such as deodorant and toothpaste, clean socks and underwear, and gloves and coats in the winter.
We work directly with local schools to construct custom cabinet systems then help them secure financing to keep the cabinets stocked with items their students need most. We are now in 22 schools in North Idaho and plan on adding two more this year. The construction of the cabinets and the clothes and toiletries are provided to schools at no cost to them.
Last year alone we injected over $50,000 in money and items into those 22 schools. We do this mostly through private donations that we cultivate through personal relationships. However we have one fundraiser per year in which we ask the public for help. That's the DUCK DERBY! You purchase the rights to a rubber duck (or 100) and it is entered into a race around the lazy river at Silverwood in June. The winning duck gets a cash prize and all the loser ducks can feel good that their money is helping kids who need it the most.
