Project Healthy Grandparents - WRC Holiday Project

Each year, during the holidays, the Women’s Resource Center adopts a family headed by a grandparent raising her grandchildren. This is the fifteenth year of participation. There are many reasons grandparents become caregivers and second-time parents. The issues cross socioeconomic and racial lines, but many of the grandparents are on a fixed income and the holidays are difficult for them to manage.

We have been matched with our Grandparent family! Please let us know ASAP if you would like to participate! We have a sweet grandmother, and her grandson (16 months old) to provide a beautiful holiday season for! We can accept cash, check, gift cards, or specific gifts (see Colleen or Melanie for those NEW items).
