FRIENDS Backpack Drive
Each year FRIENDS provide backpacks and school supplies to children served by Child Advocates of Fort Bend. In August of 2024, FRIENDS members provided backpacks for more than 201 children we serve! Backpacks are purchased in bulk using FRIENDS members’ $50 annual membership dues.
Schools start in early August. We need your help to fill backpacks with school supplies.
Please “ADOPT A CHILD“
You will be given the name of a child in need and an individual school supply list for their school and grade. We ask that you shop for your child, if you can. Supplies are due July 14th – July 21st. To participate, email Brigit Engleman at bengleman@hotmail.com for a specific child’s list.
If you cannot shop, please send $100 per child and FRIENDS will shop for you.

Annually in October and in the Spring, Friends Council hosts a morning Friends Coffee and an evening social at a private home. These are opportunities to welcome new members, share the many contributions made by the council during the year and enjoy a guest speaker, fashion show, decorating ideas or other entertainment.
See photos below from our FRIENDS Fall Coffee on October 22, 2024.
