The CWA District 4 Human Rights Committee is excited to announce the Foster Care Suitcase Drive! This drive will run from August 21st through November 7th in hopes of delivering them to the children services location no later than the week of November 9th.
Many of the children are sent to places and have to carry their items in trash bags. The Committee is doing a drive to get new or slightly worn suitcases donated for the children.
Not only would we like to get suitcases, we would like to stuff them with items they can use. Below is a list of items we would like to collect to fill up the suitcases.
Feel free to reach out to anyone on the committee for more information. Please share this with your members.
