Through a donation to the Giving Tree, you can honor a family member, friend, teacher, or coworker with a gift made in their name to IPC Social Services and/or the Children’s Fresh Air Farm. A $10 donation per card is suggested, but all donations are accepted to help our neighbors who are struggling with food, shelter, utilities, transportation, and medical needs, as well as the children and families that benefit from our services at CFAF.
