										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CTS Impact is proud to donate to Children&#8217;s Home &amp; Aid by supplying a parent pantry in one of their childhood centers in Englewood, Schaumburg, Palatine and Carpentersville. There are many ways to get involved and learn more about their mission. Children’s Home &amp; Aid <em>saves children’s lives, moves families forward, and goes where the need is greatest.</em></p>
<p>Children&#8217;s Home &amp; Aid link children to a network of opportunity and care, to extended family, teachers, mentors, and the resources of their neighborhood and community. For 135 years, they go wherever children and families are needed, and where that work has been proven to be most effective: at home, in the classroom, in the neighborhood, in the course of daily life. Their offices are located across Illinois and serve more than 40,000 children and families each year in over 60 counties.</p>

<p>Blessings in a Backpack is a non-profit organization that feeds school children in the United States who currently are fed during the week on the federally funded Free and Reduced Meal Program and are at risk of going hungry on the weekends. Its mission is to mobilize communities, individuals, and resources to provide food on the weekends for elementary school children across America who might otherwise go hungry. The program works with elementary school-aged children whose families cannot afford enough food. Better test scores, improved reading skills, positive behavior, improved health and increased attendance have all been attributed to the success of this program.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CTS Impact is proud to support one classroom with back-to-school ‘kits’ for the Children’s Home &amp; Aid Back to School drive. Children’s Home &amp; Aid and their partners are working to support children and families that continue to be under significant stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Together we can help them be prepared to learn this fall and beyond. The Back to School drive seeks to support nearly 1300 children across the Chicago metro area. This year, the main focus is supporting kids in the Englewood area ages 14 to 21 years old.</p>
