Thompson Child Development Center

💼 Empower Working Parents! 💼 When parents can't access child care, their ability to work and provide for their families is compromised. Supporting Thompson Child & Family Focus can help us provide the care that parents need to stay in the workforce. Let's empower our community together! 🌟Volunteer now at www.thompsoncff.org/volunteer

Looking for a fun, rewarding way to give back this summer? Sign up for our community event sorting and organizing brand-new clothes for our clients. This will allow the children and youth we serve to easily 'shop' our closet for much needed clothing items.

Slots are available Friday, August 2nd from 10am to 3pm and Saturday, August 3rd from 10am to 2pm. Sign up and find out more at https://www.mobilize.us/thompsoncff/event/640647/

Try to imagine the embarrassment of not having the means to keep your clothes clean.

For kids, wearing dirty clothes can lead to bullying, difficulties in making friends, and be a major obstacle to building self-confidence. For parents, it can prevent them from finding a new job, or keeping the one they've got.

At Thompson, we provide laundry detergent to families in need to give them the dignity they deserve. When families can wash clothes consistently, everyone benefits.

During Shop for Good Week, you can make a difference for a family near you by giving the gift of clean clothes. 👚👗👖 To donate laundry detergent, visit Thompson's Share Charlotte page and shop our wish list: https://sharecharlotte.org/nonprofit/thompson

🏫🎒Back to school can be a difficult time for children whose families cannot afford new shoes, clothing or uniforms.

Help a child restart classes with confidence by donating a gift card from our Shop for Good Wish List.

For a family that's struggling to get by, personal hygiene products can be expensive and used up quickly.

But without these items, youth can struggle to make friends or be bullied at school. For parents, challenges with hygiene make it difficult to find and keep much-needed employment.

Common items we need include:

💦Deodorant/antiperspirant
🧼Soap/shampoo
🦷Toothpaste
🚼Diapers and wipes

Give the gift of self-confidence and comfort by purchasing hygiene items from Thompson's Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1HACZHINNE9Q0/ref=hz_ls_biz_ex

Many of the families we serve do not have stable transportation - making it difficult to get to work, take kids to after-school activities, or take advantage of the vital programs and servies Thompson makes available to the most vulnerable in our community.

Without a ride, it's hard to feel like you belong and to have hope that things will get better.
