North Fulton Supports Local Foster Children

The Rotary Club of North Fulton has a long history of working with children both in our community and around the world. This year, we wanted to focus on children in our community who have been placed in the Foster Care system.  A committee was formed with past presidents Mike Mudd, Kristi Crockett and James Marosek leading the effort.  Our exploration began with a lunch program by Jessi Williams, a licensed social worker, with the local non-profit Promise 686. The Promise 686 goal is to see every child in a safe, loving family. Jessi suggested we focus our efforts on Because One Matters, which operates the Wrapped in Love Clothing Closet in downtown Lawrenceville.

Our club grant of $3,500 was used to purchase hygiene items, pajamas, clothing, diapers and gift cards. Over 1700 items were delivered to Wrapped in Love before the end of June. We completed this project by having the founder of Because One Matters, Andrea Barclay as our special guest at our last meeting of 2022-23. Andrea shared with us her inspirational path to establishing the Wrapped in Love Clothing Closet in 2022. The club was honored to provide some much needed support to this worthy organization.
