COMANCHE CO., Okla_ Comanche County's Marie Detty and New Directions
could use your help this Christmas, too.
Courthouse
employees are working hard to fill donation boxes with canned goods, hygiene
products and even baby formula. The boxes
waiting to be filled are on the third floor of the courthouse.
Treasury Office
Worker Lyndsey Billen said, "We're just trying to collect anything you
would use in your daily life, because women and children come and they have
nothing with them. So, anything can definitely help."
County
Treasurer Barbara Burk said many of the items they need are things most of us
take for granted. Marie Detty and New Directions are both non-profits. Marie Detty
provides a wealth of services: from helping juveniles in trouble with the law
and parenting classes, to an emergency youth shelter and gang intervention.
New Directions
is the spousal abuse department of Marie Detty and provides a safe place for
abuses spouses and their children.
You can help fill the boxes with everything from LATS bus passes and
cleaning supplies to paper towels and Christmas gifts for children.
