The Supplies Are In!!!!

I have great news!! The supplies I asked you about are in! The Christmas Box organization collected donations for us and we got some great stuff! We have brand new games, art supplies, books, and more. Here is a list of items that we received:


We also have hygiene kits for children based on age (these include toothpaste, hair brushes, diapers for little kids, etc). There is a little different process to get these, so talk to me if you are interested.

Here are the rules for getting these items:

*These are meant to be for a specific family (for them to keep), but I would be ok with you taking a supply (such as a game) to use with all of your families. You would then need to return it to DCFS when you are done with it. If you give it to a family, it is their to keep.
*These items should be given to a family for a purpose! Use them as a reward or for the parents to use as a reward, or as part of a lesson.
*You may take up to 2 items per family (usually- but talk to me if you have special circumstances).
*You have to get the items FROM ME! I am trying to protect this great resource and want to make sure that as many people can benefit from them. You will need to talk to me about setting up a time for you to come get the items from me. Or, I can have them for you by the next training (which will be at the end of April). I need to mark who is getting what.

Thanks for your help with this! I hope this can be a great thing for you and your families! Oh, and if you have any items you want to donate or know of anyone who wants to donate, I am hoping to have this be a continual thing for us to access supplies. I will continue to solicit donations to keep us stocked.

And, if you want to write a thank you note to the nice ladies at the Christmas Box house, I will take those for them!
