Feed the Children Supports Educators in Vulnerable Communities



Greg Daviscourt owns and operates Centennial, Colorado's Rocky Mountain Construction Company, which offers commercial construction services. Through his business, Greg Daviscourt supports philanthropic organizations such as Feed the Children, which aims to end hunger worldwide along with other goals.

Feed the Children was started in 1979 with the aim of defeating childhood hunger around the world. Today, the organization also works to give teachers the tools they need to educate youth in vulnerable communities. To accomplish this task, Feed the Children sets up Teacher Store stations for educators at schools that have been designated as Title I facilities, where many students from low-income homes attend.

Each Teacher Store stocks books and supplies donated by corporate sponsors. Volunteers assist by managing and distributing the inventory. Teachers who qualify may claim items for free in preparation for the school year.

In 2020, Feed the Children set up five new locations in Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Indiana, and Tennessee. The program helps an estimated 525,000 students each year.
