COMFORT KITS FOR CHILDREN
 
The CKC program to help foster children has been putting together dozens of kits for children identified by Child Protective Services. Taylor Moore, Breck Hansen and Jake McCarney Co-Chairmen of the program (869-5414 for Taylor, 941-6250 for Breck or for Jake 376-6949) (taymoore76@yahoo.com or kent@systemkleen.com or bhansen@payrollamerica.com or jake.mccarney@raymondjames.com), continue to be pleased by the donations and the volunteers who have been working hard making blankets to include in the kits. They say that the partnerships that have been developed with local corporate donors have been tremendous, expecially the generousity of the Meridian Wal-Mart Supercenter and the Five Mile Squares Quilting Club (JoAnne Littlewood) . This is an on-going project that will continually need donations of stuffed animals, toiletries, combs, flashlights, blanket material, and monetary donations. If you'd like to help, contact Taylor, Breck or Jake.
