Gloria Max, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Volusia and Flagler Counties, has announced that a foundation has promised a matching grant in the organization’s school backpack program.
The Abram and Ray Kaplan Foundation has agreed to match $15,000, if that amount can be raised in July. Max said the foundation has been a long-time supporter of area charities, but left the area last year and announced it would not donate to anymore Florida nonprofits. They recently made an exception.
“They love the school supply project,” Max said.
Max said the backpacks are filled with age-appropriate supplies for disadvantaged youth in Volusia and Flagler counties. She said a card is included with the names of the businesses and organizations that donate.
“You’d be surprised how many kids write back that they didn’t know so many people cared about them,” she said.
