Backpack Drive Results

We received a total of 152 backpack donations for the Backpack Drive for GRACE. Plus, $120 in cash donations. PLUS, the Ivie's matched your donations so we had a total of 305 backpacks to donate!

Thanks to everyone's generous donations GRACE did meet their goal of 500 backpacks. They have promised to send some pictures from the day they distributed them to the kids so we will post those as soon as we receive them.

Congratulations and thank you to everyone that participated!

Magazines for U.S. Troops

Everyone has old magazines at home that either end up in the trash - or hopefully for some in the recycle bin at least. How about putting them to good use? Bring in old magazines - whatever the genre - and Ivie Cares will have them shipped off to troops in Iraq.

Feel free to include any letters of encouragement along with those magazines! Even better - get your kids involved! Have them write letters and draw pictures to include in the package.

Drop off boxes will be in 2 locations in the Flower Mound office:
1st Floor – Cube 102B just inside the entryway in the Client Service area
2nd Floor – On the Ivie Cares’ cart outside of Becky Pearce's office near IT

If you are located in the field and are interested in participating send us a message at IvieCares@ivieinc.com. We will provide you with the details to either have them shipped here to Flower Mound or directly to Iraq.
