Valentine’s
Day was a little sweeter this year for 350 senior citizens in Cobb County.
Gift bags assembled by Marietta Metro Rotarians were delivered to Meals on Wheels
clients and visitors to Cobb Senior Services. The bags contain puzzle books,
mechanical pencils, assorted toiletries, and sugar-free candy.
In
addition, roses in bud vases were delivered to the women of The Extension, an
alcohol and substance use rehab center in Marietta. The
Extension’s mission is to facilitate a transformation that empowers individuals
and communities experiencing homelessness and substance use challenges to
engage in a process of change in recovery. The process happens through
counseling, life skills classes, and maintaining stable employment.
