Provide For Casa Pacifica’s Children and Families in Need
Camarillo, CA – The holidays are in full-swing at Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families and there’s still time for you to participate! Dove wishes for ongoing needs are still available and need to be fulfilled. Find these dove wishes at casapacificakidswishes.org. The ongoing need doves provide for needs throughout the year at Casa Pacifica – basic needs like bedding and hygiene items, birthday presents, and gift cards for experiences like going out to a restaurant or the movies.
The local community has already stepped up to fulfill all of Casa Pacifica’s holiday family baskets and children’s dove wishes. Casa Pacifica provides for the youth and families they serve throughout Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties through their holiday family basket program. Each basket contains household necessities and presents for the holidays. The family baskets provide for a family often barely keeping it together. The relief these holiday family baskets provide are priceless. The children’s dove wishes paper ornaments are created from the wishlists of the youth who live on Casa Pacifica’s Camarillo Campus. Each child is allowed two “wants” and three “needs.” The doves with the children’s wishes are they picked up by people in the community to fulfill and return to Casa Pacifica in time for the holidays.
