CHRISTMAS STORE NEWS
Every year the Family Support Services department of the Boys Club has a “Christmas Store” and “Food Pantry” to help families in need provide gifts for their children. This program is operated and funded solely by donations. As in the past, the Santa Braves will team up with the Family Support Services office to raise money, collect toys and hold food drives to provide much needed help for some of the families in our community.
Details for the fundraising efforts are not complete at this time, but plans are being made with the School’s Athletic Department, Boys Club Staff, School Staff and local merchants to begin this year’s campaign.
Please watch the One Feather for further information. If your community or your program would like to assist with Food Pantry and Christmas Store needs, contact Leslie Lossiah at the Family Support Services office – 497-6092.
