Welcome to Carroll County Altrusa

Service Projects and Activities

In the year 2010 our local projects and activities included:

• providing lunches for local Habitat for Humanity events
• cosponsor of a DCYF Foster Family Christmas party providing books for all the foster children
• supporting a nurse practitioner's trip to Haiti
• providing book bags to new parents in Tamworth
• participating in fund raising cancer walks
• continuing our "Backpack Project" which provides backpacks and school supplies to newly placed foster children
• providing pajamas and other personal items to Starting Point (program for battered women and children)
• continuing our "Helping Hands Program" offering services to county residents in need.

And we can't forget to mention our national service project supporting Camp Safe Haven.  Camp Safe Haven is a summer camp where children with HIV/AIDS can go to camp free of charge with a volunteer medical staff and just be kids for their time there during the summer.

If you too are interested in helping with these service projects as well as enjoying the friendship of a wonderful group of women, please email us at carrollcountyaltrusa@yahoo.com.
