Hello, my name is Tara Stuart and one of the community-based program directors here at Community Counseling of Bristol County (CCBC) in Taunton.

As many of you may know, CCBC works with children and families who reside in Bristol and Plymouth Counties who are considered “at risk” and in need of comprehensive services. Our adults and children often present with a history of trauma, severe, persistent medical and mental illnesses, and various socioeconomic barriers, including clothing/food insecurity, poverty and homelessness.

CCBC services over 10,000 individuals and families annually with multiple healthcare needs and widespread financial hardships. Like many, the current economy and rapid inflation continue to heavily impact the families we serve. CCBC is experiencing an increased need and making every effort to help to provide our families with toys and joy on Christmas morning. Your donation will help to make this possible and reach CCBC's 2023 Toy Drive goal.

No donation is too small and all funds will be utilized to service children ages 0-17 in the Bristol and Plymouth County areas. If you want to donate toys directly, you can drop off new and unwrapped toys at our Taunton office at 1 Washington St., Taunton. You can also help support us tremendously by simply sharing our link.

CCBC remains grateful and appreciates everyone's generosity in support of their local community.

If you have any questions or require further information, don't hesitate to get in touch.

I am always happy to help and answer any questions. Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

Happy Holidays,

Tara Stuart, LMHC
