Donation From School Outfitters Allows HCJFS to Create Kid-Friendly Spaces
Kids visiting their families at HCJFS will now have a bright,
colorful place to play thanks to a generous donation from School
Outfitters.
HCJFS has dedicated
visitation rooms that are used to host family visits with foster
children involved with Children's Services. The goal is to provide a
safe, clean and comfortable environment for families to have positive
interactions.
In
addition, HCJFS also has several waiting areas for children who are
removed from unsafe environments while caseworkers search for a foster
home.
But for some time, the
rooms have been filled with leftover office furniture and chairs and
unappealing to kids. At a time when kids are often already confused or
uneasy, HCJFS wanted to be able to provide a safe, clean and comfortable
space for them.
The extremely
generous donation from School Outfitters allowed HCJFS to fill the rooms
with kid appropriate furniture and toys.
"Words cannot express
what School Outfitters' kindness means to our families and for the staff
of Hamilton County Job and Family Services. Now the time spent here will
be much brighter because of the items School Outfitters graciously
donated," Director Moira Weir said.
