Ferndale Community Service Cooperative hasn't added a story.
The Ferndale Family Community Fund is a program of the Ferndale Community Service Cooperative (FCSC). The FCSC was established in 2012 with the purpose of providing structure for organizations to work together, coordinate efforts and share resources in the City of Ferndale, a community in Northwest Washington state, with a population of 15,000+, including nearly 5,000 school-aged children.
The Family Fund originally focused on providing basic school supplies and backpacks to Ferndale students. Its focus has since expanded to address emergent and short-term basic necessities such as supplemental food, transportation, clothing, hygiene and school supplies, with the goal of helping students and families thrive. Your donation to this campaign will be used to directly benefit Ferndale students!
Impact of COVID-19
Nature’s Path has been a valuable partner to the Ferndale community since Fall 2019. Many school-aged children experience food insecurity and come to school without a healthy breakfast or snacks. Thanks to Nature’s Path’s ongoing contributions of healthy, organic products, students have had daily access to grab and go snacks that come directly from Nature's Path's manufacturing plant in Blaine, Washington. Because the snacks were available to all students, it removed the stigma associated with “needing” food support. After schools closed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the community was presented with a new challenge of getting kids the food they needed while they weren't in physical school. Nature's Path again partnered with community agencies to provide product that was distributed to families at remote food distribution sites.
Why Give?
The FCSC/Family Fund's relationships with Nature’s Path, Ferndale businesses, and the Ferndale Food Bank make it possible to stretch each dollar donated, meaning an anticipated 10% or greater increase in buying power toward the purchase of food and household essentials.
The impact of Nature’s Path's commitment to a 5:1 organic product donation is enormous. Students will continue to have access to "grab and go" snacks; hundreds of students will be fed per day, but perhaps the greatest benefit is that when students’ physical needs are met, they feel seen and loved.
