Take a look at the photograph below.  This is an image of an empty dirt lot located adjacent to one of our shelters in the city of Placentia, CA. Colette’s Children’s Home is pleased to announce that this dirt lot as the site of our brand new playground, which will be built on one day, on October 30, 2010.  We are partnering with KaBOOM! and Pacific Dental, who are providing us the materials, funding, and many of the volunteers for this project.  Pacific Dental will also be bringing a mobile dental clinic to give the women, children, and neighboring residents free dental care the day of the build. 

The census tract in this area is 84% low income, and there are few activities for the children in our shelters and the children in the neighborhood to participate in.  This playground will improve the entire residential community, and give everyone a safe place to play.  If you are interested in  volunteering your time on our Build Day, October 30,2010, please contact Janice Huerta at (714) 596-1380 or jhuerta@healinghomelessness.org to learn more about how you can help!
