DDS Turns Trash Bags to Tote Bags!
Thanks to your generosity, Commissioner Moore and members of Team DDS recently visited the Dekalb
Access and Resources Center (ARC) -- a program with Georgia Division of Family & Children Services -- to
Congratulations deliver a supply of bookbags, luggage and backpacks for foster children.
DDS changed trash bags to tote bags! Dekalb County provides foster care services for over one thousand
children each month with at least 37% of the youngsters moving from two to three different homes. Most
of these children are forced to carry their belongings place to place in a brown trash bag.
Because of the donations from DDS, many of the children's lives will be better by having a bag of their
very own! Human Resources spearheaded the program, once again showing that DDS Cares!
