This December, Take Care adopted three families, who all are survivors of domestic violence. The holidays in particular can be a difficult time, and it is our focus to provide some of the basic necessities to these mothers and children. From clothing to gifts, we collect items from these families’ wish lists, wrap and label the gifts, and deliver to SPARCC on December 11, 2009, so that these families enjoy a brighter holiday.
Take Care asks friends, families, staff, and caregivers to donate what they are able. A list of items requested from the SPARCC families is available in each office in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Venice. Take Care thanks you for giving.
