Description
It’s that time of year again where families start preparing for back to school! In PD 16, there are over 250 children in the foster care system that require loving and stable homes. These children deserve the attention and support of our community.
For the entire month of July (1-31), Embrace Treatment Foster Care is partnering with The Free Lance-Star to collect back to school supplies. Supplies can be dropped off at the The Free Lance-Star building in Central Park, Monday - Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Embrace serves children from elementary school to high school. Our hope is to be able to provide each of the children in our program a backpack filled with items needed in the classroom. Items needed include; backpacks, paper, pens, pencils, glue sticks, post its, baby wipes, hand sanitizer, glue, composition books, printer paper, scissors, tissues and much more!
