Local Group Collecting Underwear For Gulf Coast Kid’s House

April 28, 2010

The Escambia Farm Bureau Women’s Committee is conducting a drive to collect underclothes for children being seen by the Gulf Coast Kid’s House.

These abused children are often in need of new clothing items. While there is adequate gently used outer clothing donated, underwear is always needed. The committee is asking the North Escambia community to donate new, never worn underwear, socks and diapers. There is a need for all sizes, infant through adolescents.

The Gulf Coast Kid’s House is a center where abused and neglected children receive services from a number of agencies.

“While the Kid’s House is located in Pensacola and serves all of Escambia County, a fair number of the children served are from our area. Unfortunately, abuse is an issue found in every community, both urban and rural,” said Rikki Vidak, Women’s Committee member.

Last Sunday, many area churches took part in “Undie Sunday” to accept donations. A donation box will remain at the Molino Farm Bureau office through the first week of May. There will also be a donation box this Sunday at Aldersgate United Methodist Church, Highland Baptist Church and Ensley United Methodist Church.

For more information, contact Rikki Vidak at 587-4246 or call the Farm Bureau office at 587-2135.
