Donated items are bringing a little more joy to families visiting the Redlands and Hesperia Transitional Assistance Department (TAD) locations. A variety of toys and supplies were personally delivered by First 5 San Bernardino staff to help entertain young children while their parent or caregiver applies for their benefits.
Supervised by TAD staff, children can now spend time playing and creating in a safe, welcoming space during their visit. Donations included building blocks, bouncer seats, art easels, crayons, games, toys and other items.
This donation is just one of the many ways that First 5 San Bernardino champions for the wellbeing of young children. “We hope these simple additions help make visits to the centers a little easier for families by giving young children fun, hands-on activities to enjoy while their parents take care of important appointments,” said First 5 San Bernardino Interim Executive Director Cindy Faulkner.
