December 9, 2016 - The Shelby County Children's Advocacy Center received a special delivery from Shelbyville 4-H this week. Volunteers from that organization donated and decorated a Christmas tree for the lobby.
We are very grateful to these children for bringing Christmas cheer to our office!
November 29, 2016 - Grace Manor is trying to help provide one Christmas present for each of our foster children. We have over 90 children under our care now, so this is a big task! We are asking for help from our community to make sure all of our children have a nice Christmas.
We have asked our foster parents to turn in to us one gift idea (between $35.00 and $50.00) that each of their foster children would like. We have these gift ideas available at our office to be picked up and purchased. We are asking that you return the wrapped gifts by December 9th.
The children have wished for toys, bicycles, games, electronics, and gift certificates.
Anything you can do to help would be appreciated! We accept cash donations from those who are unable to purchase a present. Come by our office at 109 Carroll Street or call Dan at 598-3611 for more information. Thank you!
December 8, 2016 - (Album) - The city of Center parade float and Ace Hardware parade float were at the John D. Windham Civic Center on Wednesday, December 7, 2016.
Both floats featured music and participants distributed candy to children visiting the holiday themed floats. With the cancellation of Santa's Christmas Parade plans for a virtual parade were put in place as well as the display of floats at the civic center.
Ace Hardware of East Texas employees were responsible for putting together their float and the city of Center employees designed and engineered theirs. On board the Ace Hardware float is a Dream Playhouse for Kids which the business is giving away through a free drawing. Anyone wishing to participate need sign up at Ace Hardware of East Texas.
An added treat for children attending the holiday event was a visit with Santa Claus.
