Family Assistance Drives
The Children’s Advocacy Center’s work is never done. Throughout the year, we assist our families with food, clothing and basic necessities. Items are distributed through the Center’s PitStop. Similar to a PitStop in motorsports where a vehicle pits for fuel or new tires, the CACDC PitStop (sponsored by Speedway Children’s Charities) is a place where families can get help with food, clothes, household items, or special needs to get back on track.
You can donate to the Pitstop by donating new items such as:
- Food (non-perishable items)
- Clothes (must be new), preferable summer clothing
- Shoes (any size)
- Underwear (any size)
- Bras (any size)
- Household Items (towels, bedding, small appliances)
- Baby Items (food, bottles, pacifiers, diapers, etc)
Every fall, individuals and businesses in the community adopt families to help in the following areas:
