HOLIDAY ASSISTANCE
Dear Avon Lake Parents &
Families,
As the weather gets colder and the holiday season draws near, local organizations are sending out information for families in need of winter clothing, food, and/or holiday toys. As a school district, we are aware that some families may need assistance providing a memorable holiday for their children. See below for available programs:
Coats for Kids (winter coat) – To request a coat for your child (prek-8th grade), please email Kristin Acton, School Social Worker – Kristin.acton@avonlakecityschools.org with the following information:
· Your name
· Your telephone number
· Number of children for which you would like to request coats
· Children’s sizes and gender requested
· Name of school the child(ren) attend
Toys for Tots (Holiday toys for children up to 16 years old.) - Click to register: Toys for Tots Registration (Opens: November 11, Closes: December 7, 2018). Use a computer to register, as cell phones may not submit correctly. For questions, email: tftlorain@gmail.com
Community Resource Services – (various) - Santa’s Workshop - Families can come ‘shop’ for their kids and receive coats, pajamas, toys and stocking stuffers for their children. Also - Family Basket program - Families can select a themed basket (e.g., Family Game Night, Baking Basket, Italian Dinner Basket). CRS also provides gifts for teens, usually in the form of small denomination gift cards to place like Speedway and McDonalds, and holiday food boxes filled with all the fixings for a holiday meal. CRS holiday programs are open to anyone with a current CRS file, and distributions are done the week of December 10th. For more information call (440) 933-5639.
As always, if your family is ever in need of any resources or assistance, please feel free to contact your school counselor or school social worker. Every effort will be made to link you to the appropriate resources. All requests are handled in a confidential manner.
Lastly, feel free to check out Avon Lake City School’s Community Resource Page to see other available resources in our community.
Happy Holidays,
Kristin Acton, School Social Worker
