A list of the organizations that get the blankets

RE: Forcht Wade Correctional Center
Annual Toy Drive
December 10, 2010 At 9:00 A.M.

This year the Offender population once again rose to the challenge to provide toys for families in need.
The offenders assigned to the FWCC Toy Project made approximately 2,146 wooded toys. The toys were hand crafted by offenders at Forcht Wade Correctional Center.

This year they made: puzzles, abc blocks, cars, dolls with beds and blankets, and ducks. The blankets for the beds were knitted by “Chicks with Sticks” a local group that meets monthly at the Hamilton South Caddo Branch Library. The dolls were donated by The Women’s Club in Homer.

The toys will be picked up at Forcht Wade Correctional Center, on December 10, 2010 at 9:00 A.M, by local organizations from Natchitoches to Haynesville.

Local Organizations

Boys& Girls Club Claiborne Parish Sheriffs Office Gingerbread House
