Options for Community Living, Inc. is joining forces with Kiwanis Five Towns in supporting the Governor’s project by donating Bomba socks to add to our blessing bags! These organizations both know the importance of helping our neighbors to “put their best foot forward”!

Five Towns Kiwanis Club is proud to participate in Governor Carla Ingram’s Blessing Bags project. By collecting suitcases and duffel bags to donate, children in foster care will be able to relocate with dignity and will also be able to have a bag of their own. Many don’t understand the importance of what seems like a small thing, but the ability to have something of their own, and to move using a suitcase instead of a plastic bag, is essential in building self esteem and a feeling of normalcy. We proudly support the Governor in her efforts and will keep collecting.
