💙💚 Thank You, FREEOSK! 💙💚

A huge thank you to Steve Koza and the incredible team at FREEOSK for their outstanding donation to the CAC Care Closet! Steve reached out to ask how they could help, and wow 🤩did they come through in a big way.

Last week, Steve and his crew arrived with three carloads🚗🚘🚙 full of laundry detergent, snacks, and hygiene products, and we were truly blown away by their generosity. This donation will make an immediate and meaningful impact for the children and families we serve.

We are so grateful for community partners like FREEOSK who see a need and step up with open hearts. Thank you, Steve and team, for your kindness, compassion, and support of the CAC!

🎄💙 Friends of the CAC — we need your help! 💙🎄
We’ve had a couple of families reach out just recently asking for help with Christmas, and we’re hoping our amazing CAC community can help us make this season a little brighter for them. Even one item can make a big difference and remind these children and teens that they are seen, loved, and supported.
Here’s what we’re currently looking for:
✨ Teeth whiteners (teen)
❄️ Men’s size 6 snow boots (child)
🧱 Legos (for older kids)
👕 Teen girls hoodies – Size M
🕯️ Candle warmer (teen girl)
💄 Sephora gift cards
🧸 Baby dolls
🐶 Snoopy items
🎶 Taylor Swift items
If you’re able to donate any of these items, please contact Stephanie Crider @ 269-556-9640 or email @ scrider@swmichigancac.org and we’ll coordinate drop-off details or they can be sent directly to the CAC (4938 Niles Rd. St. Joseph, Mi 49085).
Thank you for always stepping up and helping us wrap these families in love during the holidays. ❤️💚

✨ Thank You, Holt Bosse! ✨

Our hearts are so full this morning. Last night, Holt Bosse held their annual Christmas party at the beautiful Shadowlands Pavilion, and instead of an admission fee, they asked each guest to bring an item for the Children’s Advocacy Center’s Care Closet.

Just look at the incredible amount of donations we now have to share with the children in our community who have been impacted by abuse. This outpouring of love, generosity, and compassion is truly overwhelming. ❤️

A huge, heartfelt thank you to Patrick Bosse and Dan Clements, and their amazing team. You pour so much into this event, not just for your guests, but for the community as a whole. Your kindness makes a real difference, and we are endlessly grateful.

Thank you for standing with us, for supporting children, and for reminding us what a caring community looks like. 🎄💙
