For the Reporter
Homeless children often have significant struggles in school. The challenges of moving regularly or living with instability can affect a child’s focus and make school work more difficult.
In response to this need, Multi-Service Center (MSC) created the HEART Program for children living at its family shelter. Through reading, craft projects and time with caring adults, this after-school program, held on-site at the shelter, is designed to help children learn additional skills in fun, creative ways.
The HEART Program needs new and gently used books for children ages 4-15 years.
MSC staff will be collecting books for the program on Saturday, Oct. 25, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Federal Way Barnes and Noble, 31325 Pacific Highway S.
You may also drop off donations Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the following MSC offices:
