Advocates has high hopes for our teens moving into Newman House this winter. The central Cartersville location provides ample employment, community involvement and educational opportunities to offer a well-rounded lifestyle. Cartersville High School, a top-ranked public high school, and Georgia Highlands College, part of the University System of Georgia, are less than 5 miles away from the Newman House. #newmanhouse #advochild #advocatesforchildren #BuildingHope #helpingfamilies

***URGENT NEED*** Our children's shelter needs a minivan to transport children to schools, doctors' appointments, activities, and more. If you can donate a safe and working minivan, it would mean so much to the children to have dependable transportation. We would love to have a later model to avoid costly/frequent repairs, and a second row of captain's chairs would help our children get in and out better. Please call our President, Rachel Castillo, at 770-387-1143 x 203 or email rachel@advochild.org. We are hoping someone responds! #BuildingHope #helpingfamilies #advochild #advocatesforchildren #homelessyouth
