Members of Woodstock’s William G. Long Senior Center spent three months making 300 dolls for children served by Cherokee County’s Department of Family and Children Services.
The finished gifts were delivered September 24, according to the city. Participants sewed, assembled and personalized the items as part of an annual service project. One member also created fabric lizards and snakes to offer children different choices.
The project connects two parts of the community through something tangible: a handmade item a child can keep. The city reported that more than 300 children were in foster care in Cherokee County at the time of the donation.
DFCS continues to seek foster families and essential items for children. The city’s announcement links to Foster Georgia and lists 1-877-210-KIDS for people who want to learn about ways to help.
