Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Gift Distribution, Human Services
Mission: The organization provides basic necessities and creature comforts of a child's life including warm serviceable inner and outer wear, comfortable and attractive school and dress clothing, school supplies, age appropriate learning tools, utensils, books, as well as wish list gifts requested by children ages 0 through 16 years. In 2017 the organization served over 300 children in wayne county.
Programs: In october 2016 we announced and advertised our program. We invited residents of wayne county to sign up in they were in need of assistance. During sign up week, we assisted over 150 families in filling out a form which lists basic information about the family including a brief description of their needs. Once the list was compiled, we then assigned each family to a large group of volunteer shoppers. The shoppers had approximately three weeks to shop for the children on their lists. All gifts were returned and sorted out for distribution to the parent's on the first week of december. On distribution day families come to pick up their packages specifically purchased for their children. Once they arrive, they also have a chance to walk through and select any gently used items of clothing and toys which have been collected, sorted and compiled over the year.
