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

 

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 & Francis Lauer Youth Shelters). Any additional funds will be used to purchase classroom games, books, supplies, and personal items.
