CQ Christmas Charity Event

Every year ConsumerQueen.com picks a local charity to donate to, to help out our community. Our members, local people, and brands come together to make this happen. This year we have chosen “Jordan’s Crossing“. Jordan’s Crossing is a non profit agency that provides residential substance abuse and co-occurring services to women, and women with dependent children. Since 2006 they have provided residential services to almost 1,000 women and children. Many of these women have been able to reunite with their children, maintain their recovery, and are now leading productive lives. Substance abuse treatment saves lives,saves Oklahoma taxpayers the costs of incarceration and more importantly helps families recover from the damaging effects of substance abuse. They just recently had a grand opening of 20 additional beds for women that they call Jordan’s Landing.

To me this is very important because many times drug abusers are just thrown in jail or looked down on instead of helping them get the tools and education they need to turn their lives around so they can make a better life for their children.Since many children come through this organization we thought it would be  great to make sure they have a great place to play. So we will be taking donations for toys, clothes and Christmas gifts to make sure they have a great Christmas this year. Just one example Step 2 is donating a play kitchen and My Little Pony is donating a DVD.. This will provide years of fun and long lasting memories. Once we get all the donations in we will deliver them to Jordan’s Crossing and do a video of the donation. All sponsors will be listed in our video and in  our charity post.  We will also do a moderator’s Christmas party and each moderator will be bringing a toy to get in.

If you would like to donate to this cause please send me an email. I am sure that anything would be appreciated.

    Does Jordan Crossing have a website?

    Hi there – I have been involved with Jordan’s Crossing for about 3 years….it is a GREAT place for women to be with their children as they go thru substance abuse recovery. So many lives have been changed there. This place, however, is very private – due to many circumstances involving the residence. Karen, their website is at the link located in the charity information above. It has pretty limited information though. As for your drive, I think that’s great. You probably won’t be able to videotape anything though, again, because of their privacy requirements. Good luck and God Bless!!
