On Thursday, December 3rd, the TTU Percussion Club is teaming up with local non-profit, Upper Cumberland Foster Closet, to host a donation drive. This event will be from 3:00pm – 5:00pm at Centennial Plaza and will feature live Christmas music by the TTU Percussion Ensemble.
When children are placed in a foster home, they often arrive with only the clothes on their backs. While financial assistance is provided, sometimes there is a delay between accepting children and receiving funds to help support them. The Upper Cumberland Foster Closet attempts to bridge this gap. UCFC acts as a resource that foster families can quickly visit upon receiving a placement and get items these children need such as: clothing, shoes, car seats, and other basic needs, free of charge. Through the generous donation of these items from our local community, foster families will be able to use their own resources in other ways while the children are in their homes.
Needed Donation Items:
Clothes for kids and teens, booster seats / car seats, newborn diapers or pull-ups, new packs of underwear/panties, new packs of socks, backpacks, bunk beds, baby carriers, diaper cream, toothbrushes, lunchboxes, and *cash donations* (preferred).
