While you spend your Thanksgiving holiday with friends, family and loved ones, children in need through the foster care system are potentially settling into new homes and needing things of their own.

That’s why Radio Pontiac and the Bank of Pontiac have teamed up to help restock the Children’s Advocacy Center’s Holiday Needs Closet, with items ranging from diapers to bath towels, socks to winter gloves and hats and down the list to laundry detergent and band aids.

Our very own Cat has more.

“I think it’s important for us to raise awareness to, I don’t want to be over dramatic and say the plight of the foster kids in these three counties, but it kind of is that. We want all kids to feel normal and I think that is what this drive is all about is giving them basic things that they can have when they’re fostered from home to home. They can feel like each foster place is a home and we’re here to help them with that,” Cat said.

You can drop off items from 10 to 5 Monday through Friday at Radio Pontiac at 315 N. Mill Street. For more information, call us at 844-6101.
