Toy Drive for Central Georgia Foster Children

The Perry Area Chamber of

Commerce joined the staff and resident leaders of the Houston Lake Apartment

Community this morning to celebrate their toy drive for Central Georgia Foster

Children.  Otis Ingram explained the program saying “We have 6 community leaders

who have bought gifts for 17 children between the ages of 17 months and 17

years old, who would not have Christmas ordinarily.  

 

The foster parents

aren’t paid enough or given allowance by the state to get gifts so communities

and organizations have to pitch in.  Our staff has coordinated and worked

with residents to get leaders and teams divided up so they could make sure each

child was cared for during the holidays.  They shopped for gifts and

wrapped them and put them under our tree in clubhouse before being taken to

DFACS in Houston County so they can deliver them to the children.”
