Child Service Center

In 1951, the Junior League of Panama City organized the Child Service Center (CSC) to provide clothing and hygiene items to underserved children of Bay County.

The Child Service Center program provides clothing and hygiene items to hundreds of Bay County students each year. These children are then able to attend school with confidence, focus on their education, gain self-esteem, and hopefully one day give back to their community.

Our orders come from a school counselor, parent liaison, social worker, or other professional at the child’s school who then completes an online order form, which helps us track numbers for grant purposes.

We provide the following in a clothing request:

Elementary Children

  • Two Tops and Two Bottoms
  • One Pair of Shoes
  • Seven Pairs of Socks
  • Seven Pairs of Underwear
  • A Hygiene Bag containing a toothbrush, two travel-sized tubes of toothpaste, a kid’s 2-in-1 shampoo, and a bar of soap.
