One way to help the youngsters at The Children's Home is by donating items that are needed by our residents and at our on-grounds school, The Learning Center. Thank you for thinking of the children! If you wish to donate any of these items or if you have any questions, please email sgraves@childhome.org or call at 860-635-6010, X327.

Major Needs Wishlist
The Children's Home needs a late model Full-Size Automobile in very good shape in which staff may attend meetings conferences and the like. Such a gift will offer the donor a tax deduction of the car's full market value while saving The Children's Home many thousands of dollars, for use directly for the children.

The same goes for a late-model Passenger Van for transporting children on field trips, off-campus jobs, athletic events and the like and a reliable truck for plowing and sanding Missionary Road and our parking lots this winter.

For more information call Sharon Graves at 860-635-6010, X327.
