How you can help (re-sharing staff’s wish-list with gratitude!)
April 4, 2020
Many Latham families, friends, and community members have reached out to ask how they can help our students, adult residents, and staff during this difficult time. In response, we have created an Amazon Shopping List where people can purchase items and have them shipped directly to us. Since posting our Shopping List last week, we have been overwhelmed by the gift-giving – your generosity and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated! Items on Latham Centers’ Shopping List include:
· outdoor games
· gardening supplies
· low-impact workout DVDs
· thermometers
· board games
· Amazon gift cards
· Visa gift cards
· Michael’s craft store gift cards
· Starbuck’s gift cards
· craft supplies
· movie DVDs and television series DVDs
· puzzles
Here is the Latham Shopping List link: Amazon.com/wishlist. When ordering, please choose Heather Kelsey as the recipient (hkelsey@lathamcenters.org). All gifts will be delivered to her home office (she’ll arrange delivery to Latham’s campus and group residences). Inquiries about any type of donation to Latham should be directed to Heather Kelsey, Director of Development, at hkelsey@lathamcenters.org. Both monetary and in-kind donations to Latham Centers are processed by the Development and Finance teams.
Our staff continues to be creative in developing fun and meaningful activities for our students and residents. Thank you all for your support, including the uplifting messages we’ve received to share with our staff.
