Indianapolis - Now in its tenth year, through a partnership with the Colts, the Indiana Department of Child Services (DCS) and Cargo Services, Inc., Books for Youth is a statewide program that provides backpacks filled with 25 age-appropriate books to foster children in Indiana. The program focuses on promoting literacy by providing a personal library to every Indiana foster child. Tuesday’s event marked the first of several distributions the Colts, DCS and Cargo Services, Inc. will partner on this year.
Prior to the backpack distribution, attendees toured Colts in Motion, the team’s traveling museum full of Colts history and memorabilia.
