Food for Thought
Students who are hungry have trouble learning, and that’s the stark reality facing more than 75% of Irving ISD students who struggle with intermittent or ongoing food insecurity. To combat this problem, we created a weekend/school break food distribution effort to enhance the district’s nutrition program. Volunteers for “bag builds” and donations of shelf-stable food items or cash to support the program are needed year-round. Currently, our Food for Thought program distributes over 1,000 dinner bags every week.

C2C STORE
If you’re an Irving teacher, coach, or counselor with students lacking school supplies or uniforms, you need to know about our C2C (Community to Classroom) Store—the “store without a cash register” at the ISF Warehouse —where you can “shop” for students who need a helping hand. Open Mondays/Tuesdays/Thursdays from 4-5:30 p.m. by appointment (or call 214-493-8412). Volunteers welcome
EMPLOYEE ENRICHMENT GRANTS
ISF provides Employee Enrichment Grants each month for professional development. In the corporate world, budgets for professional development, conferences, and seminars are often plentiful, but a teacher or school district employee who wants to pursue professional development may find they must pay fees out of their own pocket. Meeting those costs can pose a significant hardship, which is why ISF created the EEG program.
