THANKS! to the UGA Law School students for buying toys for our Healthy Families children Christmas 2009. They began this tradition 2
years ago and we are grateful they worked with us again. And...
they added gift cards and diapers for the families! Thanks so
much, students!
OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGN to support our services is underway. If you are a former supporter, you should have received a wonderful card done for us by
Tim Rogan, local photographer. If you didn't receive a card, please let us know. With the loss of state funding this year, your contribution is badly needed and most appreciated.
OUR DEEPEST THANKS TO...

The HEALTHY FAMILIES Program... Brandis Parrott and her son, Javier, read from a children's book during the Healthy Families graduation ceremony at Ebenezer West Fellowship Hall in June 2009. Healthy Families promotes strong literacy skills in young children. The organization is struggling with funding as it competes with several other agencies for state grants.
Our "Healthy Families" program made the news! Read all about it HERE.

More than 100 people attended and heard: a senior agent with the FBI speak on the hazards of predators, Anna Curtis with Prevent Child Abuse Georgia talk about how threats are changing, a Geek Squad agent explain how to monitor and protect kids online, an AT&T rep cover wireless safety (texting, etc), and Free IT Athens gave away a desktop computer system as a door prize!
