Helping Hand For The Holidays

During this holiday season, The Herald and Lantern is once again publishing a list of needs of various organizations in Cape May County. They repre'sent but a few of many such '^frfganizations that help people

in various ways throughout the year. Illness — problems — hardships can strike at any time. During this season of the year, readers wishing to send dona-

tions can learn about the services of some of the worthwhile organizations that help their fellow man. While financial help is always needed — there are other ways

to give of one's self — volunteer time, food, toys, clothing, small personal items. These can say to another human being, "Here is my Helping Hand. You are not alone." -Libby Demp Forrest

Who but children and young people can best understand the joy of finding toys under the tree on Christmas Day? The 30-25 members of the Ecology Club in grades 7th through 11th at the Teitelman School are collecting, wrapping, and distributing toys for needy children. The students hope members

of the community will help them by donating old or new toys, or money to make the purchases. The boys and girls, under the supervision of science teacher John Williams, spend the weeks before Christmas fixing discarded toys and buying new ohes, an expression of their special understanding of what it means to be young and wanting.

Children in crisis are housed for up to 60 days at the Youth Shelter where a nonthreatening environment replaces problem-plagued homes for awhile. Some of the children have been abused, some are neglected or truant, some are runaways or delinquents. Up to 12 children at a time are accommodated at the shelter where they sleep, eat, and study while the staff

counsels and cares for them. A few days before Christmas, the youngsters will be treated to a party. What would the kids like to have in their gift packages? The same things most children want — clothing, perfume, after shave, books, posters, stationary, records and tapes, gloves, mittens, socks, caps, Christmas nic nacs, makeup, nail polish, jewelry and games.
