The Barrow Area Rotary Club’s inaugural meeting was July 12 at noon on the third floor of Northeast Georgia Medical Center Barrow, where they continue to meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at noon. In its first year, the Barrow Area Rotary Club facilitated the Community Christmas program, a rebranded initiative from the well-known Holiday Connection, which celebrated a season of unprecedented impact as it wrapped up its 2023 season.
The Community Christmas program achieved remarkable success. The Christmas Store served 744 families, benefitting 1,888 children. The venue for the Christmas Store was generously provided by Bethlehem Church at its 211 Campus. Thanks to donors and volunteers, 154 families were adopted, aiding 398 children and a total of 898 families and 2,286 children were provided with Christmas assistance this year.
