To all students...Today I was assigned to go to Family Ties recovery program, and although I learned alot, it was not a pleasant experience. This program is used to teach mothers and mothers to be, how to care for their children and live a functioning life style without drug or alcohol abuse. I learned that as of July 1st, the funding that supports this program will be cut thanks to our elected officials.
If you could help out in any way with donations, the facility will take anything. They are most needy of new born and infant clothing and supplies, although they could use anything such as adult clothing, childrens clothing, car seats, cribs, house hold items, kitchen utencils, and even baby formula.
After July 1st, it will cost the clients $85/day to belong to the program. For most of the clients that is near impossible since many are homeless and do not have jobs.
Please do what you can to help...any donation makes a difference!!!

Thank you Lindsay for passing on the information. How sad, our most vulnerable population is losing yet another resource.
