ConnexCares Donates Over 700 Items to Children in Placement as Part of Annual Holiday Give

As part of the ConnexCares Annual Holiday Give, Connex partnered with Children in Placement, a nonprofit organization advocating for abused and neglected children throughout the child welfare and judicial systems. In addition to a $1,500 in-kind donation, from November 13 through mid-December, Connex members and staff collectively donated over 700 toys, clothing, and personal care items to Children in Placement. The items were carefully selected to cater to a variety of ages and interests, including toys for younger children and clothing, personal care items, and other necessities for adolescents and teens.
