Summer is a time when many local charities are in great need of supplies due to schools being out of session for children who receive free or reduced breakfast and lunches at school. Families in need will seek help from local charities for food, clothing and other goods.   Here are some ways in which our DCC community can round-up support for charities sponsored by the DWA:

Food: Due to financial circumstances, many parents are forced to leave their school aged children alone at home during the summer break while they work. Peanut butter is a great source of protein and a PBJ sandwich is easy for children to make. Several local grocery stores offer BOGOs, Buy One Get One free, on non-perishable food items. BOGO also stands for please Buy One and Give the free One to help stock the Mandarin Food Bank's shelves for those in need.  BOGO items and any other non-perishables can be dropped off at Carmen Kelly's home at 10139 Bishop Lake Road West. Carmen's phone number is 519-0622.

Clothing: The PACE School for Girls is open all summer to assist at-risk young ladies by providing a well-rounded, structured environment that helps them through education, counseling, training and advocacy. Every female knows that when you look good, you feel good!  The PACE students can earn PACE BUCKS to purchase donated clothing to help them look and feel like the beautiful young women that they are. Donated items can be dropped off at Vicki Khan's house at 10148 Deercreek Club Road. She may be reached by phone at 519-7722.

Books: Children need books to improve their literacy and to develop a love for reading. BOOKS-A-GO GO collects used and new children's books and gives them to children that are preschoolers to 5th graders from low-income families. These books are distributed through schools and organizations that support these children. The children love receiving their books, and get so excited, they hug them and can't wait to read them. For many children, it will be the first book in their home. If you have any books that your children or grandchildren have outgrown or would like to purchase new ones to donate, please drop them off at Natalie Jackson's house at 10135 Deercreek Club Road or call her at 519-5802.

Pet Supplies: Let's not forget our animal friends.  Many families move during the summer months and for various reason cannot take their pets with them. The Jacksonville Humane Society is often overwhelmed during this time of year and is in critical need of supplies. Along with bags of dog and cat food, the JHS can use blankets, towels, pet toys, bowls, flee killing soap, pet beds, rakes and shovels. Donations may be dropped at 10042 Chester Lake Road East, the home of Pam Overbay (363-6483).

The DWA will have a Peanut Butter and Jelly Drive from June 30 to July 14 in support of the Mandarin Food Bank.  Drop-off bins for the drive will be placed at the DCC Guard Gate. For more information, please contact Carmen Kelly at 610-9789 or 519-0622.
