Lumpkin Family Connection provides a variety of supports to our students, families, and communities. During the time of the Pandemic they have gone above and beyond to provide food to food insecure families and connect families to available resources. They partnered with local businesses and even had a local toy store, Giggle Monkeys, sponsor toy donations for students. Our community would be struggling without their support and wealth of resource information.
I’ve volunteered with several members of this organization and witnessed its impact at my school - Family Connections put new shoes on a little boy’s feet after he came to class wearing his sister’s pink, too-small sneakers. What makes Family Connections so special, is their desire to address families as a whole, by considering how to empower every member, and doing more than just fulfilling a specific need. The Family Connections mission is to improve lives, to create positive childhood experiences, and it’s working - that’s why I give.
