Adopt a Child Abuse Caseworker (ACAC) Program
A grandmother needs a crib and a bed so her grandchildren can stay with
her; a working mom needs a supply of diapers to leave at daycare for her
toddler; a family living in a converted garage needs a refrigerator to
maintain custody of the children. Through the Adopt a Child Abuse
Caseworker (ACAC) Program church groups provide such emergency items to
children and families on the case load of an adopted caseworker.
You can help keep families intact by volunteering to become a FINDER
with All Saints Church Foster Care Project (FCP). Finders work with the
Foster Care Project coordinators to locate items.
During the holiday, families have special needs. At Thanksgiving ACAC
provides food baskets for all of our caseworker’s needy families. At
Christmas all the children assigned to our caseworker receive a present
through the Foster Care Project’s Angel Tree, and, in the spring,
volunteers prepare Easter Baskets for the children. ACAC collects funds
and recruits volunteers to sponsor, in cooperation with the Department
of Children and Family Services (DCFS), an annual back-to-school
shopping spree for 30 children. We also provide backpacks and school
supplies.
Ongoing requests include fast food coupons for family celebrations;
children’s clothing in very good condition; board games, new or in good
condition; movie passes; VCR or DVD movies; children’s toys in excellent
condition; and Target gift cards for teens to buy clothing.
