Splash into Summer with Thompson Children's Home April 25 - June 3 Shop for new clothes for a child's summer needs. Pick up a heart at the Thompson Children's Home table in the dining room. Buy listed item; return it (unwrapped) to the parish office by June 3. Thompson Children's Home regulations require that only new clothing, bed linens, and towels be donated for the residential facility for the children, aged 6 to 12 years. Gently used clothing can be accepted for infants to 5 year olds in TCH's day care child development facilities. Thompson Children's Home is affiliated with the three Episcopal dioceses of North Carolina. Its residential psychiatric treatment program provides a variety of therapeutic, educational, recreational, spiritual, and healing ministries in a nurturing care facility for some of our most abused and neglected children. In most cases the courts have terminated parental rights. TCH serves children from across the state who are in the care of departments of social services and mental health; it receives no private referrals. Financial contributions can be made to the Chapel of the Cross with a check notation of "Rectors Discretionary Fund/Thompson Children's Home clothes." For more information, or if you want to shop before the table is set up, please call Susan Thomason or Dina Urquhart. |
