Many parents know the cost of going back to school can leave some families in dire financial circumstances, particularly if they are a large family with children of varying ages.
The Denmark Community’s Future Fund under the auspices of the WACF is an independent not for profit, created to assist our community and special interest groups throughout Denmark. The 2008 Voucher Program is the first initiative the DCFF is promoting.
50 Denmark families will benefit from the program with students able to exchange them for uniforms, school equipment and book list items at one of the three registered Denmark business outlets. Local Heroes, the Denmark High School Uniform Shop and Morrison’s Newsagency are all participating in the initiative for the first time this year.
