Neediest Kids
Outreach assists students in nation’s capital
Neediest Kids works with Washington D.C. area schools to provide basic
necessities for K-12 students so they can stay in school and focus on learning.
Through a partnership initiated with Davis Vision and Hour Eyes® in March
2009, students have also received over $200,000 in vision care.
“For the cost of the services for one child, we are helping six children,” says
Neediest Kids’ Executive Director Lynne Filderman. Having read about
Davis Vision’s community outreach program, Filderman contacted them to
propose a partnership. She had an immediate, enthusiastic commitment.
“Davis Vision made it clear from the beginning that their primary motivation
is helping kids in need through their Focus on AmericaSM program,” says
Lynne. The partnership is one of Neediest Kids’ first business relationships
allowing necessities to be purchased at the lowest prices. It is also one of its
most efficient. The process of children receiving eyewear is speedy and wellorganized offering a savings of over $200 per service.
