Referrals for placement come from the Department of Human Services, Juvenile Court Services and Law Enforcement agencies. The youth that enter our shelter have all experienced traumatic events in their young lives and have life experiences that have brought them to the need for out of home placement. We are able to provide them with an environment that is safe, secure and accepting. We assist the youth in maintaining family and community ties whenever possible. The basic philosophy of the agency is to preserve the family unity whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New or gently used:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Board Games<br \/>Card Games: Uno, Ski-Bo, Phase 10<br \/>Decks of cards<br \/>Outdoor Games: Ladder Toss, bags, washers, etc.<br \/>Puzzles (with all pieces)<br \/>Reading Books: Teen aged<br \/>Fidgets and Pop Its<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men\u2019s\/Women\u2019s size sweatpants<br \/>Men\u2019s\/Women\u2019s size shirts L\/XL<br \/>Women\u2019s Leggings\/yoga pants<br \/>Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s size shoes: tennis shoes, sliders, flip flops<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wide Teeth combs\/picks<br \/>Nail polish remover<br \/>Women\u2019s underwear<br \/>Men\u2019s\/Women\u2019s socks<br \/>Bath towels and wash clothes<br \/>Water bottles<br \/>Coloring Books: child and adult<br \/>Arts &amp; Crafts kits: small wood crafts etc.<br \/>Word searches<br \/>Assorted Batteries<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Social Concerns Committee has decided to collect donations for the YSC (Youth Shelter Care of North Central Iowa, Inc.) this December.
