NEW Furniture for a Local Non-Profit Youth Agency Partner
Project Details
The Junior League of Sioux City is partnering with The Siouxland Foster Closet in an effort to provide a comfortable space for children removed from their home.
Being removed from their home due to questionable welfare is a traumatic experience for children. These children are separated from all they know: whether it be for a few hours, a day or multiple days. The current room where some of these children are placed during the transitional period best resembles a Doctor’s office waiting room: worn and dated furniture, dull paint, broken or sparse toys, etc. This environment is cold and doesn’t provide the comfort and distractions those caring for these children aspire to provide.
This year, The Junior League of Sioux City is embarking on a project to revamp this room. The plan is to warm the room up with new furniture, paint, rugs, curtains and replace the broken toys. Additionally, provide extra safety measures and organization. The current budget does not support replacing furniture in the room, but new furniture is a necessity.
Funds raised from Big Give will be dedicated to this project, allowing The Junior League of Sioux City to complete this project AND replace the furniture in this room. Ultimately, bringing comfort and distraction to these children.
