Cozy Kids
Cozy Kids is a program which
originated with our local CAPA
office in 2006. We, at CAPA, are
concerned with the rising cost
of gas and with the declining
job market in our area. We knew
that with our members and our
community support, that we could
all make a difference.
Many parents and caregivers may
be forced to choose between
heating their homes and feeding
their family. In an effort to
assist these families, we
developed the Cozy Kids program.
From the middle
of November through the middle
of December each year we collect
new and lightly used blankets,
sleepers, and pajamas and
distribute them
(you may also
call the CAPA office at 437-3100
to bring items in at other times
of the year). We have local
churches and businesses who have
graciously agreed to place the
collection boxes in their
buildings. Many businesses,
local organizations and private
donors have contributed
generously to this program. In
2006, we handed out over 800
sleepers to those in need.
Together, we all are making a
difference.
