Area IV TLOD Service Project
Area IV Top Ladies and Lords held a toothbrush and toothpaste drive for the Hosea Feed the Hungry &
Homeless, as a part of the 35th Area IV Conference service project. Hosea asked that we concentrate our
collection efforts on raising as much of a singular item as possible, as opposed to collecting a wide array of
different items. Raising items for charity in this manner decreases the volunteer effort needed to sort the
items, thereby speeding up the time it takes to distribute the items. Hosea feed The Hungry & Homeless
provides assistance to 61,000 people a year through innovative programs and initiatives. HFTH is where
working poor and homeless people receive resources needed to re-stabilize their lives.
Area IV TTA Service Project
During the 35th Area IV conference, the Top Teens supported the Holy Trinity - Blessings in a Backpack
program as part of the TTA National Service Project. Holy Trinity helps feed 250 children at Marietta,
Georgia schools over the weekends during the school year. These children rely on free breakfast and lunch at
school during the week, but might not have enough or any food on weekends. In 2015-2016 school year, Holy
Trinity packed over 8,300 bags of food.
