The Bradley Center is a residential mental health treatment facility located in Robinson Township; church member Sarah Boward is a mental health therapist at the facility, which treats children ages 6 to 21. We are looking to provide gifts for 20 residents.
It is extremely important to carefully read the guidelines for gifts that you select, for the safety of the recipient and of other residents. The total spent on the gifts should be at least $50, so you may wish to partner with someone. Many of the children are wards of the state; many children arrive at the center with only the clothes that they are wearing.
Each child’s wish list is contained in a “slot” on Sign Up Genius. You are provided the age and gender of the child, as well as the clothing and shoe sizes; bra sizes for some girls are provided. Each child was asked for a gift that they really want and that appears as the first item. Gift card suggestions are also offered; children “earn” the privilege of a supervised trip to stores from time to time. The gift card should not be the sole item, as volunteers will wrap the gifts so that children have something to open for Christmas.
Access Sign Up Genius and select the child(ren) you will sponsor.
Unwrapped gifts marked with the child’s name and code must be brought to church by December 13th. The church is open from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm M-F, with the office open until 4:00 pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. Contact Martha Boward or the church office to arrange for other drop offs.
