Kudos to Dr. Adamenko!

Help for DCF Teens Transitioning to Adulthood

A statewide community provider is assisting DCF adolescents who are moving into their first apartment or dorm room to acquire items that they want and need.

 

"The Right Stuff" program asks teens "What do you want for you room?" and then finds people to donate exactly what the adolescents requested.   Typical requests could include just the right shade of comforter or the truly hip rug for a dorm room.  In addition, the program encourages donors, especially churches or community groups, to create longer-term relationships with the youth by adopting them in broader ways over time.  Many DCF kids who go away to college have no home to go to for breaks and holidays and donors to this program can provide a welcome refuge for vacations and breaks.  

 

If you would like to become a donor, contact Robin McHaelen at 860-232-0050 or go to the True Colors website:
