Back to School FDL focuses on the children in the local area who need assistance with obtaining school supplies for the upcoming school year. In order to meet those needs, they solicit area businesses and organizations, conduct fundraisers, and write grants so that they will have the monies available for purchasing supplies.

They also conduct supply drives at numerous locations throughout Fond du Lac over the summer.

Camp Kudzu was founded in 1999, by parents, doctors, health professionals and community leaders. These caring visionaries joined forces to establish a program in Georgia that would support the special medical needs of children with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent, or T1D) in a fun, medically supervised environment. They held their first summer camp in June of 2000. Since that time, the number of programs, campers and volunteers have continued to grow . . . like kudzu.

Camp Kudzu makes life better for children and teens living with type 1 diabetes. They also help families so they can gain confidence, make connections with others like them, and increase their knowledge. You could say they meet their mission every year, 600 times over!

Their Mission
It is the mission of Healthy Start to educate, promote positive birth outcomes, and protect the health and well-being of all women of childbearing age and children up to age three (3) in Santa Rosa County. The Healthy Start Coalition of Santa Rosa County, Inc. is a non profit, 501(c)3 organization that works with moms and babies to ensure they have the services and care they need to live a long and healthy life!

Healthy Start is the foundation for early intervention, child protection, and school readiness programs. A healthy baby saves state tax dollars: for every $1 spent on preventing an unhealthy birth, $6 is saved in neonatal intensive care costs, recurrent hospital and medical expenses paid by Medicaid, exceptional and remedial education, child abuse and neglect investigations, and disability and dependency costs.
