“It is an honor to help children in our community,” expressed Jaclyn Hurst with Outreach Ministries of 12 Stone, jaclyn.hurst@12stone.com. She also added a special thank you to the Central Gwinnett High School basketball team for their contribution to this project. “These young men and their coach, Eddie Hood, (along with GCPS Foundation staffers) took time out of their summer break to sort and pack the donations, working tirelessly in the heat for no other reason than to serve others. That is what it is all about!”
Aaron Lupuloff, senior executive director of the GCPS Foundation, agrees and is thankful for 12Stone’s support. He explains, “This is the second year that 12Stone members have conducted this drive and they increased the number of items donated over the prior year by three hundred percent!” He shares that additional donations are needed, and the community is encouraged to participate in the work to support student achievement and our schools.
