Donate Items for Children in Transition |
Now - April 30 |
Guilford County Department of Social Services (DSS) is continuing to face deep budget cuts this year. When DSS takes children into custody, they often need to spend several hours (sometimes an entire day) at their offices. DSS is in desperate need of supplies to help make their time with us as calm as possible. Donations will be collected in the FBC main office through April 30.
