If you have a little space on your Christmas shopping list ..

Some teenaged girls who are "court-involved" in Cook County are fortunate enough to be taking part in some alternative sentencing programs. Either on probation or living in a court-supervised group home, most do not have the family support to create much of a Christmas. Many of the caring adults who work at Juvenile Court and the Juvenile Probation Department reach into their own pockets so that these young women have something new for the holidays. If you would like to help ... coats, shirts, sweaters, anything cute that a teenaged girl would like (by the way, I'm told white and beige are good colors because they carry no gang recognition!). Bathrobes, slippers, shower and bath goodies are also known to bring big smiles. Contact Ginny Caufield in the Department of Juvenile Probation 312 433-6627. Thanks!
