Can You Help Some Lehigh County Kids?

Your help is needed. The Lehigh County Office of Children and Youth will be conducting a clothing drive to benefit the foster and other children that the office serves on August 20th from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. They especially need help with set up organizing donations on August 19th from 10 to 4 p.m. Volunteers may help in 1 and 2 hour time shifts. Children's and youth clothing and school supply donations will be accepted at the Lehigh County Government Center at 7th and Hamilton through August 19th, throughout the day of sorting and set up. Volunteers for set and clean up can contact Paula Roberts at 610-782-3064.

    really? helping lehigh county kids with some gently used clothing is making a difference? perhaps cheryl can donate her clothing line. those children will be (at least) well dressed when they enter the system. Whose feel-good idea was this? If this is the best course of action that OCYS can come up with to help children enter foster care, than goodness help us.

    LCOCYS would be better equipped by stop focussing on nonsense like this and start reforming policy and procedures. They also might be better served by tapping into their home grown resources.

    It's rather sad when the Director recommends a caseworker to adopt special needs children from her father's organization (Diakon) and then casts him aside due to political pressure so the agency can hold fundraisers to get children luggage. They wouldn't need luggage if people did their job.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
