DeKalb CEO’s State of the County Breakfast: Donations to benefit foster children

Foster children will be the beneficiaries of donations collected during a community breakfast sponsored by DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond.

A suggested minimum donation of $20 is requested for the community breakfast on Saturday, April 27,9 a.m., at Greenforest Community Baptist Church, 3188 Rainbow Dr., Decatur.

Currently in DeKalb County, there are 904 children under the age of 18 in the foster care system.

“We partner with one common goal: to serve the children and families of DeKalb County,” said Kwesi Booker, director of the DeKalb office of the Division of Family and Children Services.

Thurmond will give his outlook for 2019 during the breakfast, which is open to the public.
