holiday families

DEAR FRIENDS:

THE HENRIETTA WEILL MEMORIAL CHILD GUIDANCE CLINIC IS A NON-PROFIT MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. WE HAVE BEEN SERVING THE KERN COUNTY COMMUNITY FOR OVER 76 YEARS AND ARE THE LARGEST CHILDREN’S PROVIDER IN KERN COUNTY.

AS YOU ARE AWARE, ONE OF THE SPECIAL PROJECTS WE DO FOR OUR CLIENTS IS PROVIDE A SPECIAL HOLIDAY TIME FOR THE CHILDREN WE SERVE HERE AT THE CLINIC. WE PROVIDE THANKSGIVING BASKETS FOR OUR FAMILIES IN NEED, AND AT CHRISTMAS TIME WE PROVIDE GIFTS AND FOOD BASKETS FOR AS MANY CLIENTS AS THE FUNDS ALLOW. THIS PROGRAM RUNS ON COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT, DONATIONS FROM OUR VENDORS AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS. AS A NON-PROFIT OUR FUNDS ARE LIMITED SO WE REACH OUT TO ENLIST SPONSORS FOR OUR FAMILIES.

DUE TO THE COMMUNITY'S GENEROSITY DURING LAST YEAR’S HOLIDAY SEASON, WE PROVIDED THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS BASKETS FOR CLINIC FAMILIES, TOTALING 321 PERSONS. THE GENEROSITY NOT ONLY HELPED THOSE FAMILIES, BUT ALSO WAS A DISPLAY TO THE COMMUNITY AS TO WHAT IT TRULY MEANS TO HAVE THE SPIRIT OF GIVING.

WE APPRECIATE ALL OF OUR FRIENDS, FAMILIES, COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND EVEN OUT OF COUNTY VENDORS THAT STEP UP AND HELP OUR FAMILIES IN NEED DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN MAKE THIS YEAR THE BIGGEST AND BEST YEAR YET! WE ARE ENCOURAGING VOLUNTEERS TO COME AND HELP US WITH OUR FUN EVENTS WHICH INCLUDE, SHOPPING, WRAPPING AND DELIVERY. THESE ARE SPECIAL WAYS PEOPLE CAN COME AND HELP TO ENSURE THINGS RUN AS SMOOTHLY POSSIBLE. THESE ARE CRAZY DAYS, FULL OF FUN, FOOD, GOOD FRIENDS, AND LAUGHTER, PLUS A GREAT FEELING OF PAYING IT FORWARD.

WE WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT WE ARE TRYING TO HELP ONLY THOSE CLIENTS WHO HAVE THE GREATEST NEED. IF WE ARE FORTUNATE TO FIND MORE SPONSORS THAN FAMILIES, WE WILL EXPAND OUR LIST TO INCLUDE SINGLE GIFT OR FOOD ITEMS TO ADD TO A CLIENT’S HOLIDAY. WE ALSO ACCEPT MONETARY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR USE IN FULFILLING THE FAMILIES’ HOLIDAY WISHES.

IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO ASSIST US WITH HOLIDAY FAMILIES OR WOULD LIKE US TO COME AND SPEAK TO YOU OR YOUR GROUP, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THE NUMBERS LISTED BELOW.

SINCERELY,

CANDY COATS
