This program provides short-term assistance to address insecurities related to clothing, toiletries, food, and school supplies for registered Fort Bend ISD students. The needs of the students are assessed by a campus nurse, counselor, or district social worker. Shared Dreams aims to help students close the gaps in their needs and achieve academic success.
The Shared Dreams program includes new and gently used clothing items. Fort Bend ISD has a student population of 80,000, of which 52% belong to economically disadvantaged families. The students eagerly look forward to receiving new shoes, as it is one of the rare occasions when they walk into the halls and feel like their peers. Christ Church is the most significant contributor of new shoes to the program, providing thousands of dollars of support throughout the school year.
