Thank you Christmas Donors! 

The children and families of Drumm are so grateful to the many organizations and individuals who helped to make the Holiday Season special for our kids. Gift and cash donations, along with groups of wrappers, all came together to help make Christmas 2011 one to remember.

After this busy Christmas Season, we find ourselves needing a few supplies to keep our toys in tip-top shape:

Air pumps for balls and tires

Rubbermaid storage totes- sizes ranging from 

shoebox to large storage tubs

Bike helmets- girls and boys, all sizes

Tax credits still remain available for the Swinney Hall Renovation Project in the amount of $270,000.00. With your help, this is enough to complete the project and provide housing for four young adults.

The AHAP tax credit is a one-time credit that may be allocated for up to 55 percent of the total value of your donation.

fourteen children.

We are currently serving twenty five children on campus, with plans to house more children in the future and impact more young adults leaving foster care with our outreach program.
