NHS students donate blankets to Children in Crisis

The Niceville High School Leadership donated more blankets this week for the kids of Children in Crisis, just in time for the COLD weather! Thanks to their generous donations, the kids and teens at the Children’s Neighborhood will have a warm blanket to enjoy the rest of the winter and beyond.

The mission of Niceville HS Leadership is to create an awareness and self-actualization of students and develop leadership experience. They seek to recognize opportunities for excelling while supporting the community and worthy causes.
According to Ken Hair, CIC President & CEO, “The donation of blankets couldn’t have come at a better time. With the temperatures recently dropping into the teens and 20s, we needed the extra blankets to keep our kids warm and cuddly. The donation truly made a difference and we are very thankful.”

Children in Crisis, Inc. is a 501(c)(3), non-profit charity of caring people working together to provide homes and establish hope to the abused, neglected, and abandoned children of our community. The Children’s Neighborhood is a beautiful facility, built by the generous support of our community. To learn more about Children in Crisis call 850-864-4242 or visitwww.childrenincrisisfl.org.
