FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. – Children in Crisis is pleased to announce the opening of Kay’s Cupboard food pantry and donation center. To celebrate the opening, CIC will hold a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on January 16, 2018, at 3:30 PM at the CIC Neighborhood on Hurlburt Road. We invite the media and entire community to join us and help celebrate.
Kay’s Cupboard food pantry and donation center will help CIC better utilize food drives and other donations for the over 100 children that call the CIC Neighborhood home each year. Funding for Kay’s Cupboard was made possible by M/Gen (Ret.) Don Litke and family in honor and memory of Don’s wife Kay.
According to Ken Hair, CIC President and CEO, “We opened the first family foster home of the CIC Neighborhood in 2008 and since then we’ve provided a home, love and care to almost 800 children while keeping all of the brother/sister sibling families together. That works out to over 95,000 days/nights of a safe, loving home for an at-risk foster child. Opening Kay’s Cupboard will help us reduce cost for feeding and clothing our children thanks to the Litke family and our very supportive community.”
CIC is a 501, (c)(3) non-profit local charity of caring people providing homes and establishing hope to the abused, neglected and abandoned children of our community.
