The National Exchange Program of Service is the Prevention of Child Abuse. With that in mind, the Exchange Club of Rosenberg presented a $500 check to Child Advocates of Fort Bend to assist them in their mission to provide a voice for abused and neglected children.
Child Advocates was invited to come to speak to the Exchangites at a recent meeting about their work and provide an update. Ruthanne Mefford, Executive Director, commented, “These Exchangites are wonderful, caring people. I am in awe of how much the Rosenberg Exchange Club has accomplished, not only in the number of community projects they have completed but also in understanding the value of volunteerism and community involvement.”
The club earned the funds through a fundraising fashion show event. Rafika Milledge, Exchange Club Child Abuse Prevention Committee Chair, said, “Whatever we can do to help the children, we will. We are ready to volunteer.”
The Exchange Club of Rosenberg is comprised of 34 members who have an intellectual disability. They are a dynamic group that is all about making their community a better place to live. For more information, contact 281-239-1311.
