Each year CRN's Spring Fling /Easter Gala outfits the children we serve in new outfits and shoes and provides them with an exciting, fun-filled Easter Afternoon.
 
This year our first priority is to outfit the children living in group homes. Each and every year getting new clothes for the teenagers is our biggest challenge with the clothing drive. Many people do not think about adult size clothing when they are thinking about buying an outfit for a homeless child. Teens often have the greatest pressures at school to wear good looking and stylish clothing. This is why we are really asking you to help us make these children as comfortable as we can and give a real boost to their self esteem. We will be outfitting children of all ages so we do have a need for any and all sizes of new clothes and shoes donations, but especially older children.

 April 8th, Easter Sunday, we will be inviting all 1,900+ children to our Annual Easter Gala. The event will be held at Perimeter Church and will consist of an egg hunt, carnival type games, an awesome buffet lunch, pictures with the Easter Bunny, sporting events, and beautiful Easter Baskets. It will be a welcome, stress free day of fun and fellowship for children living in shelters and group homes. We will need a wide range of volunteers for this event. The times we need help will be from noon - 6:00PM and volunteers can stay as little or as long as they would like.

Adopt a Shelter program, if you are a member of a church group, civic organization or social club, have awesome co-workers, or just a great group of friends that would like to outfit 6 - 10 children or more with a new outfit we want to hear from you. You can even deliver the gifts to the group home/shelter that you have adopted for this program. If anyone can do a general collection drive we also want to hear from you, we can provide you with flyers, a list of sizes etc. to help you with your drive!
