The Children's Cabinet - January 5, 2022 Newsletter

January 5, 2023

A Happy & Healthy Year Ahead

Happy New Year! While these first days of 2023 have been filled with rain, snow, road closures, travel delays, power outages and a variety of other challenges, we are excited to ring in a new year with feelings of joy and hope as we look ahead to new adventures.

We begin 2023 with much gratitude to our community for the tremendous support received throughout 2022. Listed below are the results of our Adopt-a-Family, Toy Table and Holiday meal programs. We are awed by record numbers of families helped this season and by all of the generosity that happens throughout the entire year.

To our donors that are contributing to The Children's Cabinet Market via our Amazon Wish List, thank you! We don't know who you are because the boxes arrive anonymously, but please know how grateful we are to have food, and other essentials, to give to families.

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the 25th Anniversary of Art of Childhood. August 18, 2023 is the date, and we promise you this year's event will be filled with lots of sparkles!

Finally, to the many individuals, businesses, organizations and groups small and large that held toy drives, collected diapers, developed fundraisers, made donations and raised awareness about The Children's Cabinet, we thank you.

Here is to a 2023 that is filled with abundance, good health, happiness, and peace.

With appreciation,

Kim Young

Executive Director

Adopt A Family & Toy Table Results

Thank you! The donations and giving hearts of this outstanding community, have allowed us to support so many families and youth this holiday season. Your generous energy and gifts brightened so many lives!

Our Adopt-a-Family program reached 347 families in Northern Nevada, helping 1,438 individuals!

Our Toy Table, reached Las Vegas, Elko and the Reno area, supporting an additional 309 families, totaling 1,559 individuals! We learned about families, their collective needs and their children’s needs and hobbies, and from there our loving volunteers made the magic happen by mindfully packaging together holiday gifts from the many donated toys, gift cards, and clothing items.

274 families received Thanksgiving meals, Christmas meals, and holiday food baskets. A big thank you to our partners with Reno Firefighters and Sam Saibini Christmas Food Basket Program, and Food Bank of Northern Nevada, for providing much-needed food for families to be able to enjoy a nice meal.

Program Spotlight: Free Parenting Classes

It's a new year, filled with new parenting classes! We have a wide variety of free parenting classes from connecting with your teens to preparing your young one for kindergarten, and many are offered in Spanish too.
