Overview
Community Action Agency in Jackson and Hillsdale Counties help sponsor the "Warm the Children" campaign to buy new, warm winter clothing for area children in need.
In Jackson County, the Jackson Citizen Patriot, Jackson Junior Welfare League and CAA are partners on the project. In 2008, the Jackson community donated approximately $82,000 to purchase new clothing for over 800 local children.
In Hillsdale County, the Hillsdale Daily News, the Hillsdale County Community Foundation and CAA are partners on the project. In 2009 the community generously supported the campaign and raised enough funds to purchase warm clothing for 162 area children.
Additional Program Information
How it works: Community Action Agency partners with other area organizations and businesses in each county. Applications are taken (during the application enrollment period) and families and children are served as donated funds become available. Volunteers then go shopping with families. The Jackson Citizen Patriot and Hillsdale County Community Foundation collect donations to purchase the winter clothing for the Campaign.
100% of all donations are used to purchase warm clothing for the children!
