100 kits created for foster children in the care of Mass. DCF
NEI General Contracting, an award-winning general contractor and construction management firm, recently hosted a charity event at its headquarters in Randolph, Mass. for the Wonderfund to benefit foster children in the care of the Mass. Department of Children and Families (DCF).
NEI donated $5,000 to host an Emergency Aid Hero event to benefit the Brockton office of the DCF. This donation was used to purchase clothing and age-appropriate comfort items, which were then sorted by size and gender by NEI employees to create kits for foster children transitioning into the system.
Many of the 10,000 children who enter DCF foster care each year come into care with only the clothes on their backs. In this traumatic time, many children must leave their homes without necessary everyday items like winter coats, pajamas, underwear, shoes, or their favorite comforting teddy bear. Community support will help children in these difficult circumstances feel more comfortable and cared for as they enter their new surroundings.
The Wonderfund is a private, nonprofit, 501(c)3 that serves children engaged with the Mass. DCF through a unique and exclusive partnership. For more information on how you can help, please visit https://www.wonderfundma.org/
