Third Annual "Raise the Boot" Drive

This year Communities In Schools Houston (CIS) is teaming up with the Community Volunteer Fire Department (CVFD) for the Third Annual "Raise the Boot" Drive fundraiser. This fundraiser supports CIS' 11th Annual Santa Sacks project, which provides more than 2,000 at-risk CIS students with at least one gift for the holidays.

CIS and CVFD staff will be at the intersection of Highway 6 & Bellaire Blvd taking donations this Saturday, Dec. 13 from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Every year, thousands of children in the Houston area do not receive anything during the holiday season. The goal of the “Raise the Boot” drive is to help reach CIS’ goal of providing over 2,000 students with gifts.

We hope that everyone will come out and support CIS and the kids of Houston!
