District Service Initiative: The Georgia Sheriff's Youth Home
In 1960, the first Georgia Sheriff’s Youth Home was opened near Hahira, Georgia, and since then there have been four more homes opened across the whole state of Georgia. The homes are for girls and boys that have been abandoned and abused, but these kids are not bad kids, they just come from bad families. They live regular lives while they are at the homes, and they stay at the homes for as long as they need to or until they turn 18. This year, The Georgia District of Circle K will help Kiwanis by collecting school supplies and anything else that the Georgia Sheriff’s Youth Homes need. Your clubs can help by putting boxes around your school asking people to make donations.
In mid-September UNICEF will mail Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF kits to Clubs that participated in the program in previous years. The Trick-or-Treat kit is mailed to the school address. Be sure to watch for this mailing if your club participated in this project during the 2010 or 2011 year. If your club didn’t participate in previous years but is interested in participating this year, contact the Kiwanis Member Services team at +1-800-KIWANIS, ext. 411, or e-mail memberservices@kiwanis.org and Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF boxes will be provided. You can also order your boxes here. Proceeds from Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF go toward The Eliminate Project.
