Our children's program provides assistance with the day-to-day needs of children in the local school systems by working closely with the school nurses, guidance counselors, and daycare centers. The Children's Foundation receives requests and then provides the needed item - i.e. sneakers, diapers, daycare, book scholarships, school physicals, head lice shampoo, baseball gloves, and school field trips, all of which help a "child in need" to have a positive self image and achieve an appropriate and complete educational experience. Our volunteers are very capable of coordinating all the needs of our children. The Children's Foundation uses the school's free and reduced lunch program as a guideline for providing assistance, but special circumstances are always considered.
