Annually the City of Acworth hosts an MLK Day of Service on Martin Luther King Day. I wanted to invite North Cobb Rotary Club members who are available that day to join us in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King and also join us for service projects.
Leading up to the event on January 19, we are partnering with Georgia Kids Belong and holding donation drives to support foster families in our community. Here are the details for the donation drives and ways NCRC members can help with. We will also have day of service projects.
Family Fun Night Donation Drive: help families and foster kids feel at home by helping create family fun night kits!
New or used but complete Card games, board games, deck of cards, dice, puzzles, popcorn, sudoku, books, crosswords etc.
Hygiene Kit Donation Drive: Personal hygiene kits are given to kids in the I Belong Project and to kids in foster care. These kits bless kids by giving them their own self care supplies.
Hygiene bag/ Ziploc, Toothbrush, tooth paste, small hair brush, small lotion, wash cloth, chap stick, small body wash, small shampoo, deodorant
Day of service projects:
Sorting of donated items for family fun nights and hygiene kits
Cards for Kids in Care Making Station: Please join us by making cards for foster kids with encouraging words of love, support and prayer. These cards are given to kids in foster care to lift their spirits and give encouragement.
Wording ideas include but are not limited to:
You are valuable
We love you
We care about you. We hope you have a great day!
Bright days are ahead. Keeping believing!
Never forget how amazing you are. You have a purpose and a future!
Any other quote, verse or words of encouragement.
Belong Bracelets Making Station: Foster kids participating in the I Belong Project receive "Belong Bracelets" similar to friendship bracelets that show our community loves and care for them. Bracelets can include words of encouragement like hope, belong and brave etc.
