Greene County Children Services
This Month's Organization:
Greene County Children Services, with the support of the community, provides family-centered services to protect children from abuse and neglect by building safe and permanent families. We offer a spectrum of services from family assessment and support to temporary and permanent child placement through foster care, adoption and independent living programs. Every day we assess reports of abuse or neglect, collaborate with other organizations that serve children in Greene County, and help families meet the needs of our community’s most vulnerable children.
With compassion and commitment, we touch the lives of thousands of people in Greene County every year by providing a voice for children and supporting the families who care for them. The safety of the children in our community is always our top priority.
Craft:
terry cloth (towel) bib for baby or toddler, burp cloths (matching the bib would be great), baby blanket, greeting card (Happy Birthday, Congratulations, or no greeting)
Instructions
For the terry cloth (towel) bib, there are also a lot of free patterns, instructions, etc. online; just search “towel bib pattern” or similar and you can get a lot of adorable variations on the theme, depending on how elaborate you want to get. There are also plenty of patterns online for burp cloths. Matching bibs and burp cloths would be wonderful.
For greeting cards: Send messages along the lines of “Happy Birthday” and “Congratulations.” Cards with no greeting are also encouraged. Keep the inside of the card blank. Keep embellishments secure and no glitter that will fall off (glitter glue that sticks securely is ok). Include an envelope. These are meant to be used in place of professional greeting cards, so please use paper craft skills and refrain from using lower quality materials like construction paper.
Project Type:
Sewing, card making
Deadline:
End of the month. Please drop off at any Greene County Public Library location in a clean zippered plastic bag (or something appropriate to help us keep your work clean and undamaged).
