In Clark County there are at least 3,000 children in foster care. There are 1,000 licensed homes. This is only one county. Many of us will never be foster parents, but there are ways that each and every one of us can help these families.
Our Service Club has decided to host a drive to collect new and gently used items for these children. We are working with a local nonprofit that will give the items we collect to the foster families, who can use them.
One member has donated a very nice changing table that they no longer need. Another member started looking for clearance items to donate. She has gotten some cute kids clothes for cheap, which of course, means she can buy more. She also found a bunch of Sunny Day items on clearance and bundled them as a birthday party complete with Sunny Day plates and napkins. Others are going through their kids' things and donating gently used toys and clothing.
