Opportunities ......

Children in Social Services 
We are collecting bags, small suitcases, backpacks, and similar carry-alls for children in social service settings. These bags will allow the children a means to carry their clothing when returning to a home environment. You may want to include a stuffed animal as a comfort to the children who are hopefully returning to a stable, permanent living condition. If you have any contributions or questions, please call Trina Perley at 424-3009.
