Child & Family Center Donation Drive Seeks to Help Fire Victims

Twenty minutes before the scheduled 3 to 6 p.m. donation drop-off time slot, the Child & Family Center in Santa Clarita already had several tables full of items to help families impacted by the Los Angeles fires.

According to Child & Family Center officials, the mental health and behavioral health service provider joined the Los Angeles-based Baby2Baby nonprofit organization to host a donation drive Wednesday afternoon at the Child & Family Center on Centre Pointe Parkway.

“We’re trying to make this as easy as possible,” said Nikki Buckstead, Child & Family center CEO. “We saw people in the community getting antsy, like, ‘Where can we go?’ ‘We don’t want to wait.’ And also, folks don’t know where to go in L.A. to drop things off.”
