December is typically associated with snow, preparing for the holidays, presents, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza celebrations, family get togethers and treats of all kinds.
But this upcoming season can be specially hard for families who are already facing difficulties. Providing gifts or that something special every parent wants to give their children and create loving memories can create added pressure for parents who are already experiencing struggles with housing, food, income, and medical and mental health insecurities. These stresses can increase the likelihood of abuse of all kinds.
You can help! Please, this season, consider making donations to your local food pantries, present drives, retirement homes, homeless shelters, and churches! Ease the burden if you can.
Raise your voice for children, sing the joys of this giving season and join us in improving the lives of children in our nine county service area.
If you want to donate directly to our organization, visit our website at www.advonet.org and click on the “Donate Now” button. All donations are eligible for tax deductions. Together, we can bring hope, promise, and healing to children and families in our communities.
