REMINDER: Project Healthy Grandparent Needs You!

Posted by Angela Valenti On 9:52:00 PM
Each year, during the holidays, the Women’s Resource Center adopts a family headed by a grandparent raising her grandchildren. There are many reasons grandparents become caregivers and second-time parents. Many of the grandparents are on a fixed income and the holidays are difficult for them to manage.  This year, we have a family headed by a 60-year-old grandmother who is raising two grandchildren, 15-year-old Briana and 11-year-old Kierra.

The deadline for contributions is Wednesday, December 1

Wishlist:
Grandmother
Basic Needs: Winter Coat, towels and slippers
Something Special:  Chenille White bed spread

Basic Needs: shoes (church), clothes (uniform for school)
Something special: Books (about nursing/health and anything educational)
Kierra
Basic Needs: shoes (church), clothes (uniforms for school), sturdy book bag
Something special: books (educational), dolls
