“We're doing a very targeted campaign right now. We wanted to do a blitzkrieg fundraiser, match-grant opportunity. It’s a treat, not a trick for Halloween. We are trying to spend the right amount of money, to get the right amount of products in, to get it to the people and to be ahead of the curve for this next wave.”
Items include children’s socks, underwear, jackets, hats, adult diapers, feminine hygiene products, and more. You can donate via Facebook, by check to Family Connection, or the website. Visit fc-cis.org for more information.
