The Investigating Committee works with 50 various agencies in the greater Jamestown area. Letters that include contact information and a case record sheet are mailed to these agencies. Agency representatives use the case record sheet to request essential items for a child in need. As a volunteer organization, Crèche needs to rely on these agencies to verify the children’s needs.
Items provided in the past include cribs, twin beds, bedding, high chairs, clothing, shoes, winter coats, and, in some situations, monies for services not covered by the parent’s insurance. Requested items may be retrieved from inventory or purchased.
Once the items are collected, arrangements are made for delivery to the family. The recipients are very grateful as they may have had no other way to provide for their children.
The Investigating Committee is very rewarding to Crèche members. Helping a needy child is the heart and soul of our organization.
