Staff from Hometown Pharmacy donated blankets and stuffed animals to the Children's Advocacy Center this December. Comfort items are provided to children that come to the Advocacy Center for services to assist them in alleviating some of the fear and anxiety they may experience during their visit.  We appreciate every donation received that can bring them a little comfort.

Lady Elks from Trenton Lodge #801 presented a $200 donation to the Children's Advocacy Center during a presentation given to their group Friday, February 22, 2019, at the Royal Inn Pizza Restaurant.  The funds were the result of auctioning off a wreath at their Christmas gathering.  Other items donated included comfort items (stuffed animals and cozy blankets) for after the forensic interview, crayons and coloring books that can be used during the forensic interview, pencils and notebooks for journaling for older children, and copy paper for in-house work.  These lovely ladies were a great audience.
