FGIA Members, World Vision Donate Backpacks, School Supplies to In-need Children
The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) partnered with World Vision, a humanitarian organization helping children, families and their communities overcome poverty and injustice, to provide school supplies to in-need children during the 2023 FGIA Hybrid Fall Conference (September 18-21). Together, the two organizations assembled and donated 240 backpacks filled with school supplies for students.
“Since 1981, World Vision has partnered with communities in the U.S. to create environments in which all children are healthy, educated, cared for, protected and thriving,” said Jack Laverty, World Vision Director of Corporate Engagement. “This endeavor has led us to work with some of our nation’s most vulnerable populations, where poverty is high and opportunities are limited—including urban, rural, migrant, immigrant and Native American communities. Our work focuses on empowering communities for holistic transformation, through programs and resources that support kids and families.”
