Room to Grow
For January, we are proud to highlight Room to Grow as our featured community organization. Room to Grow works to break the cycle of poverty by providing wraparound support, including individual coaching with a clinician, to low-income families from third trimester through age 3.
The Fortnightly Club is hosting a community donation drive at Jackie's house on Saturday, January 11 from 9am to 1pm. Any amount of time you're able to volunteer is appreciated and please drop by if you have anything to donate. After the holidays is an ideal time to reevaluate possessions and donate. Please see button below for list of accepted donation items.
In brief, we will be collecting books, toys, and clothing for children ages 0 - 3 y.o. We will also be collecting pull-ups for Christ Child.
To sign up, please email Jackie Lasaracina at jlasaracina@gmail.com.
