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.

Helping Ukraine

Helping Ukraine is a 501(c)3 designed to raise funds for medical supplies and other goods for the people of Ukraine.

The growing concern for the people of Ukraine has never been more evident than in the months since the February 24th bombing. Stimulated by Dr. Olha Paliychuk, Ukraine, her call for medical supplies, became a call heard around the world. Through individuals who reached out to one another from Ukraine to the US, a mission began sending medical supplies, ready to eat food and even cots for shelters bound for Ukraine. Rotarian Emory Morsberger of Atlanta, Georgia played a personal role by escorting expensive Stryker Drill Sets to hospitals in Ukraine in his own luggage.

Emory Morsberger founded Helping Ukraine, and joined Ken Ward and his team for a humanitarian mission to deliver stoves, generators, blankets, clothes, food and medical supplies to those along the frontlines of the war in Ukraine.

Emory Morsberger, Founder, Helping Ukraine

In 1991 Emory Morsberger, CEO of the Morsberger Group, founded Avalon homes, a strip of 350 town homes, and spearheaded the Highway 78 project to improve the declining conditions of the area. He became active in organizations, such as the Highway 78 Community Improvement District board, the Gwinnett County Revitalization Task Force, and the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce board, which promoted the success of Gwinnett County.

His trademark “Progress Coming” signs began to appear in the windows of empty buildings that lined the seemingly abandoned Lawrenceville City Square and the Morsberger Group was created. As an extension of his development firm Morsberger created Lawrenceville Properties. Stripping down the Square’s century old buildings to their original brick and wood floors, the Morsberger Group transformed the Lawrenceville Square into a bustling destination for fine dining, shopping, and entertainment.

As a longtime Rotarian and Atlanta businessman, Emory was moved to service after seeing images, media coverage and hearing stories of the needs of the Ukrainian people. Through his connections, he was able to help elevate an effort that had begun with local Rotary clubs to send surgical and medical supplies, food and other goods.

In June 2022, Emory traveled to Ukraine and hand-delivered much needed supplies and also deepened my connections with Rotary Clubs throughout the country. Upon his return in July, he was moved to do more and launched Helping Ukraine US.

At the Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia, everything they do centers around one purpose – improving the world through the power of philanthropy.

On a fundamental level, they do that through managing funds held in trust, donated by individuals, organizations, and businesses. Most funds are donor-advised funds, similar to savings accounts. These funds are pooled for investment purposes and their income is used to make grants for a wide variety of charitable purposes.

But the Foundation’s goals expand far beyond managing funds. They desire to strengthen the communities they serve in Gwinnett, Northeast Georgia, and beyond by providing leadership, addressing community needs, and assisting individuals and organizations with their charitable giving.

Humanitarian Raveen Arora with Think Human and Co-host Jim Hall with Crexendo

In this episode of Phoenix Business Radio, Host Karen Nowicki and Special Guest Co-host Jim Hall, get you connected with community builder and philanthropist, Raveen Arora. Listen in as Raveen shares his approach (and life’s work) to advocating diversity and a constant provider of opportunities, education… and a delicious meal.

Since childhood in his native India, Raveen Arora, Founder of Think Human, has lived a life of service. This includes the All India Boy Scouts Association, volunteership with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity to Tempe business owner, caring neighbor, and immigrant community mentor.

Inspired by his humble beginnings, Arora believes there is nothing more important than community involvement and social responsibility. “I am truly humbled and incredibly privileged to be selected for this honor,” he says. “This award is much bigger than me and rightfully belongs to all my neighbors on the Apache corridor who have been on this journey with me. It’s the people who matter.”

At an early age, Arora knew what it meant to be hungry after his family lost everything during war. Growing up in Kolkata (Calcutta), India he involved himself with service organizations such as the Scouts, president of the Leo/Lions Club, and other charitable works before immigrating to America.

In 2003, Arora opened The Dhaba and India Plaza, near Apache and McClintock in an area of Tempe with many challenges. Through the years, Arora has made a positive change by providing clothing, bottled water, and daily free meals to people in need. Several local nonprofits have benefited from his financial support and leadership.

During construction of Tempe’s light rail on Apache, Arora became aware of a dangerous situation for residents crossing the street to utilize public transportation, especially for wheelchair users. He responded by donating a portion of his land for the installation of an accessible ramp and crosswalk.

Arora upholds the dignity of people from all walks of life by providing jobs, giving incentives to further their education, and encouraging the very best in each person he meets. He is known as “uncle” to many foreign students and immigrants living in the area, helping them with their studies and transitioning to a new culture.

For his life of good works, Raveen has received numerous awards, including the prestigious Mother Theresa International Service Award, Don Carlos Humanitarian of the Year, and the National Restaurant Association Humanitarian Award.
