2009 Toy Give
Away Continues at
Madison Center
South Bend, IN  12/18/09

Alyssa Vath of Madison Center works
with children everyday that have it tought at
times. So at the holiday season, she knows
it can be even tougher. Alyssa is also a
member of Street Kids Care, as her
boyfriend Jason Fowler, has been a player
for Street Kids Softball for the past four
years.

"I knew that we were working on a project
right now to help give some toys away at
Christmas time so I wanted to see what we
can do to help the kids and families I work
with everyday," Vath said.

TJ Jorgensen of SK Care paid a visit to
Madison Center on Friday and brought 20
NASCAR replica's for Madison Center to
distribute to the families affiliated with the
center.

"Our goal with these toys to give them to
kids who might not be able to have a
Christmas," said Christian Milovich of
Madison Center. "We couldn't do that if it
weren't for people like Street Kids who
make donations. We really appreciate it."

Madison Center for Children offers a full
range of behavioral health services for
children and adolescents, from individual
and group outpatient therapy to day
treatment and after-school programming,
as well as inpatient and residential care.

Referrals to all child and adolescent
programs can be made by physicians,
family and friends, employers, school
counselors and other caring individuals.
