As has been announced in The Connection and HeartBeat, the Agency is participating in a charitable drive called Heartland Cares.
The campaign will run until December 15, and Heartland staff members are encouraged to donate items for children in need in our Central Iowa area. Collection tubs have been placed in all 10 regional offices and in the Johnston central office lobby. One school building in each region has been selected to be the recipient of the items collected in the corresponding regional office. The schools were listed in the November 24 edition of The Connection.
After the items are collected, Heartland staff members will deliver the items to each schools’ school nurse who will be responsible for giving the items to children in need. Please consider making a donation to the Heartland Cares drive! With your help, we can make a difference for kids!
Examples of items to donate:
• Toiletries (Kleenex, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, hairbrushes, deodorant)
• Socks
• Belts
• Underwear
• Sweat pants
• Mittens/gloves
• Hats
• Scarves
• Cash or gift cards (to be given to school nurses to make purchases)
