BACK TO SCHOOL:
Every August CSC provides brand new tennis shoes, socks, underwear, a backpack and school supplies to over 100 students.
Students also go “shopping” in the clothes room for new school clothes.
Community members “adopt a Cougar” and purchase the shoes, socks, and underwear. They also donate new and gently worn clothes for the clothes room. CSC provides the backpacks and school supplies.
Christmas Assistance
CHRISTMAS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:
Every December CSC helps volunteers to "adopt" a student and purchase a few things from their wish list. The students also shop for warm clothes in the CSC clothes room.
