BURBANK
TEMPORARY AID CENTER opened November 1,1974. It is staffed
principally by volunteers and supported by contributions of
funds and pantry supplies from churches, service clubs,
organizations, senior citizen groups, PTA, individuals and
businesses.
Thanks
for making the holidays brighter!
In November and December, with your help, BTAC provided two
holiday food baskets for more than 300 individuals and
families. More than 250 families also received holiday gifts
through BTAC's Santa's Room program. All this was provided,
while continuing to provide assistance with transportation,
utility bills and other services! It certainly was a busy
few months. Thanks for your caring and support. When you
help BTAC, you truly touch lives.
Most
Needed Items
Macaroni & Cheese, Peanut Butter, Jelly, Canned fruit
and any kind of canned spaghetti or other pasta would also
be greatly appreciated by the agency's hungry clients. Cans
with pop-tops make it easier for our homeless clients. Right
now the agency has 151 homeless clients on its roster. Some
come once or twice a month, but many come daily, so a lot of
this type of food is needed!
BTAC
Needs Volunteers!
Are you warmhearted and caring? Then join others who have
found a place at BTAC. Intake volunteers help interview
clients and determine how BTAC can be of help. Pantry
Volunteers help fill orders and keep the donated food well
organized. Volunteers with bookkeeping and data entry
experience would also be welcome. For more information about
volunteering, call 818-848-2822.
