Christmas Store
Each year at Christmas, the Christmas Store is set up for the children served by the Board of Child Care. The store stocks new merchandise so each child has an opportunity to select Christmas gifts for the important people in their life. Even though the children may not live with their parents and siblings during the holiday, giving them Christmas gifts is very important to them. Volunteers are needed to support in the creation of the catalog of items, soliciting donations, and the sorting/wrapping of items for pick-up.
Golf Tournament
Our annual Jim Young Memorial Golf Tournament is held annually in September in Carlisle, PA. Proceeds to benefit Board of Child Care’s programs in Mechanicsburg, PA.
