Current Needs

This page was developed to convey to you the needs of our agency. You will find listed here various items that we are in need of ranging from scholarships to socks.

As in all homes, our cottages go through items due to wear and tear. Items such as towels and kitchen utensils need to be replaced. Also, as each new child comes into our program they have various needs that we try to fill as best we can. Rancho Damacitas donors step in the gap and provide much of these items. As you take a moment and read over these items, if you find yourself saying "I can do that for the children," please contact Clifford Nunn at 951-302-2317 ext. 221 or Kim Hurst at ext. 234 or send them an email from the contact page. Remember, Thessalonika Family Services is a 501 (c)(3) agency and your donation is tax deductible. Thank you for your time and consideration of these requests.
