Cases of Comfort: Interact Club's Supply Drive for Children in Foster Care
Melissa Powell from the Children's Division spoke to PCHS students today about the challenges children face when they experience abuse or neglect and are taken from their homes and placed in foster care.
Something that might seem insignificant to the rest of us that can mean so much to children being placed in foster care is a suitcase or duffel bag of their own. Children's belongings are often put in trash bags. A suitcase or bag of their own, journaling or art supplies, sports equipment, and other items can help students feel supported.
Our local PCHS Interact Chapter is hosting "Cases of Comfort," a supply drive for children in foster care. The drive will take place next week, from Tuesday through Friday, March 21-24. You can send your donations to any of the PCHS Interact members.
Thank you for your support.
