Host a Pajama or Diaper or Gift Card Drive
This is a great activity for corporate or school groups!
Often children who enter care are not able to retrieve their belongings before enetering care. Every child should have warm, comfy pajamas with them.
Children from traumatic backgrounds often have physical challenges due to emotional trauma in their history. This can sometimes mean that they potty train later than their peers. We always need diapers, particularly in sizes 4,5,6 and pull ups in all sizes.
Gift cards are lifesavers for child welfare families. Cards to Walmart, Target or the grocery store help families with last minute supplies when a new child comes. Cards to restaurants help feed the children on those busy nights when children have several appointments after school like therapy sessions, parenting time, etc. Cards to coffee shops help caregivers make it through tough days and help them remember that they are valued. Any demonination is appreciated. This is a great activity for corporate or school groups.
