The children that we serve at First Light really enjoy receiving a handmade pillowcase full of items before they leave the center. Personal hygiene items are included with our Pillow Pals. At this time, we are running low on deodorant for the teens that come in and need to restock our shelves with this item. If you or someone you know would like to make a donation, the CAC could use deoderant for boys and girls. Anyone who has questions about making a donation or is interested in doing so, call us at 765-668-8082 to make arrangements to drop them off.

Who doesn't love a new warm and fuzzy blanket? The children that we serve at First Light really enjoy receiving a new blanket and other goodies in their handmade pillowcase before they leave the center. At this time, we are running low on blankets to share with them and need to restock our shelves with these items. If you or someone you know would like to make a donation, the CAC could use new handmade or store-bought blankets suitable for boys and girls. Blankets are needed for all ages, but especially for older kids and teens. If someone would like to make a monetary donation for staff to purchase new blankets, that would also be great. Anyone who has questions about making a donation or is interested in doing so, call us at 765-668-8082 to make arrangements to drop them off.
