The Georgia Cancer Specialists health organization in conjunction with the Department of Human Services distributes the bags to those foster children who are being moved through the system. Often times the children’s belongings are thrown into garbage bags when moving them. It is hoped the bags will offer a little dignity to an already traumatic situation. The bags will be distributed in the counties in which they are collected. Please remember to support this drive.
Consider your lighting when planning to make “going green” changes in your home. This can be a small and inexpensive project to work on, that will only take a few hours. Changing your lighting is an easy project and the savings should show up in your next electric bill.
Replace incandescent light bulbs with CFL bulbs. CFL bulbs use approximately one fifth to one third less power and have a longer rated life. CFL are more costly initially, but save over five times its purchase price in electricity costs over the bulb’s lifetime. LED bulbs are also another green alternative. They produce less heat and are durable and energy efficient.

The 10th annual Totes 2 Tots suitcase drive will be held Jan. 13, 2012.
The drive was originally organized by an employee of healthcare provider Georgia Cancer Specialists and is the 10th annual drive. Those children in the child welfare system and reside in foster homes , when they are moved to other foster homes, their belongings are typically put in garbage bags. It is traumatizing enough for the children to be moved around through the system, but the hope is that by giving them a backpack or suitcase for their belongings will at the least offer the children a bit of dignity and compassion.
New and nearly new backpacks and luggage may be dropped off at the: Georgia Cancer Specialists Office 1100 Johnsons Ferry Road Atlanta, Ga. 30342, Monday thru Friday between the hours of 8:30 and 5:00. The bags will be disturbed in Fulton County through the state Department of Human Services, Division of Family and Children’s Services.
