CREDA Report

 

February 3, 2010

 

Once again this year students from Cumberland County who are away at post-secondary institutions can register to receive a care package just in time for April exams. The Cumberland Care Kits are an important component of CREDA’s Youth Attraction and Retention Strategy, and are a reminder to our young people that their community supports their efforts and encourages them to seek employment options here at home. Last year 112 kits were sent out to students all across Canada as well as in the U.S.

The Care Kits are an opportunity for companies or organizations to support a worthwhile initiative and take advantage of an important promotional opportunity by providing coupons, product samples or other items bearing their logos, or to advertise for summer or permanent employees. Donated items could include snacks, personal care items, stationary, and coupons for goods and services. Companies who choose to provide financial sponsorships instead will have their company name, contact information, and a brief description of their products or services included in each kit. Contributions levels of $25, $50 and $100 are being suggested.

Items or financial contributions should be received by the CREDA office no later than March 5th to ensure the Care Kits are ready to be distributed the first week of April. Post secondary students or their parents or loved ones can contact Amanda Mcinnis, CREDA Youth Attraction and Retention Coordinator with their contact information to ensure they are on the list to receive Care Kits. She can be reached at 667-3638 or by email.
