SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE FOR BHM CITY SCHOOLS

The Birmingham Bar Association, the Magic City Bar Association, and the Birmingham Bar Foundation are raising money to support DA Danny Carr's Helping Families Initiative.  The "Helping Families Initiative (HFI) is a crime-prevention effort designed to improve family functioning, child well-being, and educational outcomes.  HFI connects families to resources to strengthen families and improve student behavior and academic engagement before families encounter the juvenile justice system.

HFI partners with schools to recognize warning signs like unexcused absences and suspensions, and then conducts in-home assessments to identify root causes of dangerous behavior. An inter-agency team provides insight and information across multiple agencies to craft an individualized intervention plan for each family. Empowering families with resources and support helps students attend school consistently and behave in accordance with school policies.

A child without the necessary supplies may struggle to complete class or homework.  Having the right supplies might help them attend school more consistently and be better prepared for their school day.  So, we want to raise money to help HFI provide school supplies to 444 students in 2nd-grade throughout Birmingham City Schools.  

Please reach into your pocket and give to this worthy cause.  Your tax-deductible donation to the Birmingham Bar Foundation will help the BBA, MCBA, and BBF make a difference in our community.  

This donation program will run from now through July 31st.
