September
2010 Cover the Kids Day Packet:
Brochure
Materials were mailed to each parish in August to be use during the
September 18 weekend services. The Department of Human Services has
designated September 18 as Cover the Kids Day in Iowa. The state of Iowa
offers two health care coverage programs to help families maintain
coverage for their children – Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawk-i)
and Medicaid. The DHS is encouraging you to participate in Cover the
Kids Day.
Here’s how your parish can help:
1.
Inform worshipers from the pulpit, church bulletins or both that Iowa
offers two free or low-cost health and dental coverage programs for
children;
2.
Have several enrollment application packets on hand for members of the
congregation to pick up; and
3.
Encourage parents who might benefit to take home an application form and
send it in.
In
the packet each parish will receive a short article usable as bulletin
inserts/announcements, talking points for announcements, and a packet of
application forms that can be made available to parents. Your
participation in Cover the Kids Day can make a significant difference in
the lives of many Iowa families.
