DHS requests assistance for children in foster care
With the Christmas season fast approaching, the volunteer support committee for the Department of Children’s Services is planning a visit from Santa for Warren County children in foster care.
While the department is able to provide for everyday needs of children in state custody, there are not enough funds available to purchase Chirstmas gifts. For this reason, foster care Christmas depends on the generosity of our local civic groups, community organizations, school groups, industry and individuals for assistance.
If you would consider sponsoring a child this year, please call Nettie Hefner at 635-2750, Monday though Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. until Nov. 23.
If you would like to make a donation, please mail your check to the Tennessee Department of Children’s Services, attention Reba Jo Newby, 1200 Belmont Drive, McMinnville, Tenn. 37110.
Your participation in this endeavor will be very much appreciated by DCS, the volunteer support committee and the foster children involved.
“The Department of Children’s Services and the volunteer support committee thank the citizens of Warren County for their continuing support of our foster children program,” said Hefner.
