The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) partnered with a local non-profit agency to host a school-supply drive to benefit families in need.
Family Tree works with local residents affected by child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness to help provide safety and economic independence through emergency residential services, case management and advocacy, therapeutic services, outreach support, housing search and placement, education and employment support, among many other services.
The CBI Support Services section organized a school supply drive from July 17-August 4. During that time, CBI staff donated backpacks, folders, notebooks, binders and other items. The goal was to fill a truckbed with various school supplies for local students in need.
“The CBI understands the importance of supporting the community through projects such as these. We appreciate the generosity of our employees,” said Raymond Butler, CBI Deputy Director for Support Services.
Family Tree, a nonprofit human services agency, has been providing services to Colorado families in crisis for more than 40 years.
“Family Tree appreciates our partners commitment to helping us meet our mission to prevent and overcome the interconnected issues of child abuse, domestic violence and homelessness, said Katherine Lawson, Chief Development Officer for Family Tree.
