“I have been bringing my toddler to child watch for about a year now and he loves it. When he first started coming, he understandably struggled being left with new people without his mom. During that time, the staff was able to use snacks as a way to soothe him and get him acclimated to child watch. Now that he loves going, he loves to play with the kids and the workers for about an hour, eats a snack, and continues playing until it is time for us to go. I understand allergies and concerns related to that, but parents should be notified to not bring any nut products in, snack containers can be checked, and parents can sign forms stating they understand the rules for potential allergies, that they agree not to bring those items in, and list any of their children’s allergies. The workers at the RF Wilkinson YMCA child watch also do a great job of following the rules where kids can’t have snacks with nut products, that kids sit in the high chair or at the table while eating, and one worker stays in eye sight of the kids to make sure they’re not getting into other kids’ snacks. Taking away the options for snacks in child watch will negatively impact all involved. Please adjust rules and regulations, but still allow snacks!”

“The Salvation Army is an ideal place to donate a variety of goods for the benefit of Veterans, active duty personnel, and civilians. I enjoyed transporting kitchenware, household goods, clothing, and all manner of items to the local Salvation Army. The team member was delighted with these donations and most appreciative. I will start a routine of gathering items and donating for the benefit of those in need.”
