HOUSTON – A Houston-area nonprofit organization is accepting donations of new bedding for children without a permanent home.
The Sanctuary Foster Care Services has collected pillows, sheets and blankets in hopes of helping foster kids, including those sleeping in CPS offices.
“We just jumped in to help and to make sure that we could support them in any way that we can because we know that everybody is trying to do the best that they can in this situation,” said Executive Director Amanda Boyd.
According to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, the number of children in Harris County who spent at least two nights without a traditional foster care placement increased from 49 in May to 60 in June.

The organisation is most grateful to the Public Health Agency and the CLEAR Project for the support of these programs, without this relationship such workshops would not be feasible.
The program of activity sessions all contained an environmental theme, from hill walking, river discovery walks to the very popular introduction to angling workshops.
Up to thirty participants engaged in this program over a 10 week period, the activities also witnessed a cross over element with the neighbouring Dennett Valley Health Network (Men’s Shed) in Dunamanagh.
