What Is the Christmas Box House?
In 1997, The Christmas Box Foundation, with support from the community, agreed to fund and build a new shelter intake/ assessment and residential facility. This facility has greatly enhanced services to abused and neglected children and reflects a statewide model for delivery of best practice assessment and treatment services to victims of child abuse.

Mom It Forward
Mom It Forward
is the newest trend in mom groups and makes giving back fun, sociable,
accessible, and stylish—the new “in crowd” of moms where "mom" is a
verb. Not only is it fun, fosters friendships, but it is all for a good
cause—serving others and teaching our children to give as well.
The Mom It
Forward mission is "to change the world one mom at a time." We will
achieve that by 1) strengthening women, 2) helping them become the best
moms they can be, and 3) providing ideas, opportunities to, and
recognition for carry(ing) out the Mom It Forward mission in small and
large ways, locally as well as internationally.
Make and Takes
Make and Takes is a blog (http://makeandtakes.com), featuring kid's crafts, party ideas, hands-on learning ideas, and much more. Blog author, Marie LeBaron, says: "My sisters and I often get together and they usually get to go home with something I’ve brought for us to make together. There’s been magnets, felt books, pillows, cards, you name it. My brother-in-law Brian always teases me and says, “What did you Make and Take today?” But I really do like to create and am always coming up with new and fun things to do. I also love to share these exciting finds—hence the Make and Take."
Marie's blog is a compilation of what she's learned as both an elementary-school teacher and a mother. It is a tremendous resource for moms everywhere!
