Donations were accepted Monday, February 8th through Friday, February 19th at the high school front office and are still being accepted at various drop-off locations. Parents in need across the community will have the opportunity to earn the donated items through programs organized by the Pregnancy Help Center.

According to the Pregnancy Help Center of Lufkin, “Your gifts equip us with the tools we need to share the love of Christ and be an everyday hero.”

Several items are desperately needed and are ranked in order of importance as follows (preferably new, not used):

• Diapers (size Newborn - 5)
