Duffel Bag Drive
Join the CCD in helping children this holiday season!
We are collecting duffel bags (back packs or other types of bags are fine too) filled with clothing, school supplies and a toy for children who have been removed from an abusive home.
When children are removed from an abusive home by police or other agency (often in the middle of the night), they are handed a plastic garbage bag and asked to take whatever they can. Often, children are in such distress, they take nothing. By providing a duffel bag or back pack or suit case filled with personal items, you are restoring comfort, dignity, and love to a child who has just experienced one of the most traumatic events of his or her life.
In December, Children’s Home Society, will be presented with all of our duffels. Please help us make a significant contribution for the children served by CHS (counties served include Alachua, Baker, Bradford, Citrus, Columbia, Dixie, Gilchrist, Hamilton, Hernando, Lafayette, Lake, Levy, Madison, Marion, Sumter, Suwannee, Taylor and Union.)
How you can help:
Select a child between the ages of 1 & 17 and fill a duffel bag with the following items:
White socks
Underwear
PJs
Tooth brush, tooth paste, brush/comb, wash cloth and towel
School supplies, coloring book and crayons, books
Toy or game (no stuffed animals please)
Photo album or scrapbook and a disposable camera
Shirt and pants
Drop your bag off in the CCD by December 9, 2009.
