Two Social Service workers from the Craven County Department of Social Services (DSS), Melissa Lester and Veronica Edwards, addressed our meeting on February 9th. They came to thank the Club for Christmas donations to ten children in the Foster Children System.
The Club contributed $1200 toward this mission and individual members shopped from the children’s Wish Lists to make sure the kids had gifts from Santa. In addition to the Club donation, individuals spent their own money to enlarge the allotted amount for each child.
Our Club has made a new DSS program designed to help new children coming into the system its contribution recipient from our current Quarterly Focus.
