Crickets House Wish List
At Crickets House (133 Downey Ave), the home of the Art Restores Kids Outreach Program and Camp, we are hoping to provide toys, sporting goods (foot and basket balls, outdoor games, etc.) art and craft supplies, camping gear, books, gift cards, and clothing for our current clients ages 6 and up. We are particularly in need for support for children ages 10-16. This age group is often overlooked.
These donations help The Art Restore Kids program or campers of Cricket’s Hope in the past. We can’t thank you enough. These children are so precious to us and we can’t imagine not being able to help them have some joy at this time of the year. It most certainly depends upon you. We can do very little in the way of gifts without you. We have over 230 children in our program and last year we served over 140 in the adopt a child program alone, so we have some tremendous work cut out for us. Anything you can donate or help with a contribution so we can purchase these would be amazing
