Help start the Henderson Child Development Center

Posted on March 6, 2017 by hchamber

Everything is falling into place as details come together for the Henderson Child Development Center (HCDC) opening this spring.  With family applications coming in for daycare, a director hired and staff being interviewed, the HCDC Board is planning two workdays at Grace Children’s Home Ranch House, 1416B Birch Street, to prepare the house for children.  Jobs that will need to be done include inside and outside work: setting up a fence, paining the main area, kitchen and two rooms, general cleaning, and shampooing the carpets.  The work will happen from 8 am to 7 pm on Friday, March 10 and Saturday, March 11.  Anyone and everyone is welcome to come help for as little or as much of the time as they want, over the course of the two days.  If you are planning to help during the workdays, please let us know so we can prepare for the day by email HendersonCDC@gmail.com or calling 402-723-4228.

Once the house is set up, the HCDC Board will be accepting donations for tools, supplies and toys at the daycare on Sunday, March 12, between 1-4 pm.  To avoid donation overlap, here is a list of items that are still needed.
