Organizations - Children's Aid Club ("CAC") partnered with 25 organizations with budgets from $1,000 to $17,500 depending on their specific needs. Spending of budgeted funds is monitored by individual CAC member liaisons who keep in contact with the organizations. Examples include shopping for and assembling 24 layettes each month for at-risk newborns of low-income mothers; purchasing diapers and wipes for a local soup kitchen; purchasing car seats for newborns; sponsoring recognition and learning incentive programs at three schools in low- income areas; providing a school uniform to 1,100 needy students; providing gas cards and food cards for families of children receiving cancer treatment; and providing funds for children's bereavement support and family trauma programs. An additional two organizations were helped through our Special Request Fund for special projects submitted by our members and approved by the Welfare Committee, the governing body and the general membership.

Holiday Baskets - Children's Aid Club assembled and distributed baskets for three holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. The families are submitted by the organizations we support. The Thanksgiving basket consisted of a book about the holiday and food cards worth $19,850. The number of food cards given was based on the size of the family. Baskets were distributed to 100 families with 315 children and 100 adults. In September, a letter was sent to those on our mailing list as part of our Holiday Appeal. Donations were requested and donors were asked if they wished to adopt a family for Christmas shopping. From that mailing, 14 individuals and 29 members volunteered to adopt a family. It was suggested that gifts of clothing, two or three toys and a book be considered. In addition, food cards were included in each basket in the total amount of $13,750, and each child received a $25 Target card. For the Christmas holiday, 75 families received baskets, including 228 children and 138 adults. For Easter, the baskets consisted of Easter candy and food cards worth $17,255, and each child also received a $25 Target card. Easter Baskets were distributed to 97 families with 284 children and 170 adults. In all, CAC provided holiday cheer to 272 families with 827 children and 408 adults.
