The young families served by Florence Crittenton Services are working hard to improve their situations and become self-sufficient.
These industrious young mothers awaken early to get to the school on time, work hard in school all day, and then labor at a part-time job to make ends meet, while trying to successfully parent a child. To honor their determination, we hope to provide each young family with all the ingredients they need for a bountiful Thanksgiving Feast. Won't you help? Last year we served fewer than 50 families. This year we hope to double that number. Ideally, we'd like to get a turkey into every student's oven!
