The holiday season is a time for sharing and caring.
"Adopt" a Family for the Holidays!

Imagine how a parent must feel when they cannot give their child a holiday meal, tree or even a gift. Your commitment to sponsor a family from the Nursery will help give these children a chance to enjoy the holiday that most of us take for granted.
The Nursery's Adopt-A-Family Program connects sponsors with families to "adopt" by providing them with a family profile and wish list. Sponsors buy presents for their specific families and deliver them to the Nursery. Case Managers then deliver the presents to the families the week before Christmas.  You can do good while you feel good! Sign up now, call 503-283-4776 or email us for more information.
 
Three-year-old Class CRN Families Enjoy a Field Trip
On Wednesday, October 8th, our families were invited by CRN Staff for an outing to Lee Farms in Tualatin.  Children had the opportunity to pet farm animals and families were invited to take home a pumpkin.  It was a wonderful day and the children and families had a wonderful experience.  Children's Relief Nursery thanks the Soroptomist Club of North Portland for its donation to support this experience.
