The Employment and Training Department is starting a new Community Service Project/Outreach Project. We will be making Fresh Start boxes. Fresh Start boxes will be given to those in need of some positivity. When a participant is going through a rough spot and are making positive changes to work towards the life they want, they will be given one of these boxes. For this project to be a success we need help.
We are asking for assistance with donations of the following items:
Shoe boxes
Kids books
Toiletries
Kids toys
Scarves
Jewelry
Arts and Crafts Items
Photo Albums/Picture Frames
Misc. Items that could brighten someones day
If interested in assisting with this please contact Danielle Wismer-Bowers. Thank you!
