IMMOKALEE — The Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) recently asked for any extra, complimentary day planners or calendars, especially the common complimentary items that are often given out over the holidays, to be donated to their “Planning for Success” drive. These appointment books will be provided to individuals going through Drug Court, Mental Health Court or Veterans Court. Calendars and planners, that are not being used, can be donated to help recipients list their appointments and meetings on specific dates, and can be quite helpful.
“The goal of these programs is to help qualifying nonviolent offenders reintegrate into the community by completing probation,” explained the CCSO. “Attending treatment court requires participants to go through a rigorous schedule of multiple mandatory court appearances as well as attend regular group and individual therapy sessions. Missing a court date or other mandatory appearance can mean the participant fails the program. A day planner or calendar can be the best tool to help program participants complete probation and rebuild their lives.”
Donating unused promotional items or buying new calendars or planners is a great way to help encourage success, and in turn, strengthen the community. The CCSO also suggested, if you are so inclined, to jot down an inspirational message on the planner or calendar for the recipient to read.
“Our treatment courts help people turn their lives from chaos into structure, and being organized is critical to their recovery,” said Collier County Judge Janeice Martin, who presides over the treatment courts in addition to her regular caseload.
Planners and calendars may be dropped off Monday through Friday during business hours at any Collier County Sheriff’s Office substation, the CCSO administration building in the government complex, or in the lobby of the Collier County Courthouse, which is also located in the government complex.
