Concerned Teacher

We received a phone call from a grade school teacher requesting some clothing items for a couple of her students. These students desperately needed pants, socks, hats and gloves for the cold winter months of Wisconsin.

We gathered up the items for the students. It was a Wednesday evening when the teacher came rushing through the door just before clothing. She was thrilled that we could help her with the closing. We explained that she could refer the families to our services. She sadly replied, "The parents would not bring the children to the CCC."

Thinking back to that evening we reflect on the warmth and caring nature of the teacher who was concerned enough to help two struggling children. We think about the kindness of our community to donate the clothing to help people in need. We truly live in an amazing community.
