How Can You Help?
and neglected children and elderly population in Tuscarawas County. Donations are always welcome in these very tough economic times. Tuscarawas County Job & Family Services has been adversely affected as state budgets have been slashed. Donations may be made without restrictions for their use or may be designated for a specific purpose.
Our foster children often have school pictures, school yearbooks, tutoring, enrichment programs, school trips, music lessons/instruments, sports clothing/equipment, summer camps, special occasion activities for Juniors (homecoming or prom dresses, tuxedos, pictures), and Senior Graduation items that they need help paying for. We would also like to be able to provide our graduating Seniors with a monetary gift upon graduation, but we have been unable to do so because of the budget cuts.
Our elderly population often needs help with utilities, food, rent, household goods (beds, toiletries, etc.). The majority of the elderly clients do not qualify for state funding due to having no minor children in their homes. Our Adult Protective worker also annually has an exhibit at the Caregiver Expo in Tuscarawas County and often needs funding to purchase items for a door prize and snacks to provide to the caregivers in attendance.
