Kids Letter Writing CampaignRIF's fall children's letter writing campaign closes soon!
RIF needs children's letters from your program! Please send us your children's letters thanking congressional members for supporting RIF. We'll hand deliver them to representatives' offices along with photos and other items you include. This personal touch goes a long way in communicating to Congress the importance of RIF. Give it a try! Writing letters is a fun and easy activity to include in your next distribution.
