Circle Of Concern offers many annual programs to further assist families in need. Circle depends on the generosity of the community to support these special programs.
Scholarships: Each spring high school seniors from low and moderate income families can apply for a scholarship through Circle. These scholarships are used for college tuition as well as trade or professional schools.
Back To School: Each summer Circle organizes a school suppy drive to provide students of our families with new supplies for the upcoming school year. Each student (kindergarten through high school senior) receives a pre-sorted bag of supplies and a backpack. Gift cards are given out so families can get items specific to their child's school. Over 400 kids were helped in 2007.
Camperships: Over the summer months Circle provides numerous children with the opportunity to attend various camps and programs.
Winter Holiday Programs: Every winter Circle shares the spirit of the Holidays by providing our families iwth a Holiday Basket filled with a turkey, other food items & gifts for Thanksgiving. Circle also matches sponsors with our families for Holiday Adoptions and Circle organizes a toy drive to give children a new toy at Toy Day.
Birthday Club: Children under 12 receive a gift from Circle on their birthday. Along with a new toy, each child often receives a Birthday Bag that has cake mix, icing & party favors/supplies.
