Celebrate You

Coconut Telegraph

Goodwill Manasota and the Children’s Guardian Fund are partnering on a new initiative, “Celebrate You” to brighten the birthdays of children in foster care. Thanks to generous donors John and Robin Sullivan and Maureen and Jack Higgins, the program will provide children in foster care with gift certificates of $35 to Goodwill retail stores to purchase any items they choose on their birthday. Many children in foster care come from neglectful, unstable or even abusive environments and may never have had the opportunity to celebrate a birthday. Funds spent on the gift cards will support Goodwill’s efforts to provide job skills training and create jobs for individuals with disabilities or other barriers to employment.
