The AB Tech Child Care Center, Farside Group (kids ages 3-5 years old), recently worked with their parents to do a food, clothing and a toy drive, all benefiting the Children First/CIS Family Resource Center at Emma (FRCE).  The project, headed by Cathy Lyons-Spear parent of an AB Tech Child Care student and Children First/CIS board member, was to introduce "community giving" to the pre-school children and to tell them about the children in our community that need our help.  The children took a field trip to the FRCE to help deliver the food items. 

 

Ella had a birthday party and instead of gifts for her, she asked her friends to bring school supplies to her party so they could be donated to the students at our Project MARCH Learning Center.  Pictured is Ella delivering the school supplies for our students.  

 

Phoebe also had a birthday party and asked  her friends to bring food so they could donate it to the food pantry at the FRCE.  When Phoebe and her mom delivered the food, Phoebe helped Patricia Harrison, director of CIS, put the food on the shelves in the food pantry.
