<div>Central Rivers AEA staff will have the opportunity to support our Youth Shelter classroom staff and students this holiday season.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Our goal is to collect $1,000 by 12/13/2021 to purchase holiday stockings filled with goodies for each student and a specially catered holiday meal at each location (Four Oaks, Woodhaven &amp; Francis Lauer Youth Shelters). Any additional funds will be used to purchase classroom games, books, supplies, and personal items.

<div> 
</div>

<div>Our students often come to us with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. We support up to 26 students ages 11-18 and live on-site in a residential facility for anywhere from two to 45 days, sometimes longer.
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<div>Students come to us from a variety of situations including:
</div>

<div> 
</div>

<ul>
<li>rescued from human trafficking
</li>

<li>removal from an abusive situation by DHS
</li>

<li>awaiting a court date for a criminal charge
</li>

<li>awaiting a foster care placement
</li>

</ul>

</div>

<div>Please consider making a gift to spread a little more cheer and make the holidays a little brighter for our children and families! Monetary donations can be sent to Barb Schroeder, 1521 Technology Parkway, Cedar Falls, IA or using this platform.
