Hope 4 Kids Optimist Club Chartered in September!

The Hope 4 Kids Optimist Club was formed by concerned members of the Loganville, Youth, Monroe, Walton County and Covington communities when they heard about the increasing number of foster children and their needs. The club will initially work with the Uniting Hope 4 Children (UH4C), a non-profit organization that recruits foster families and places foster children. The club is sponsored by the Tucker Optimist Club and the YaYa Xpress Optimist Club.

The club participated in their first service project by helping with the UH4C Fall Festival for the children and families placed by the center. We next plan to help with the children’s wish list for Christmas. Plans are in the works for a movie night and a diaper drive.
