Moultrie Tech Gathers Stuffed Friends
for Local Children
 |
Moultrie Technical College’s Moultrie Campus Criminal Justice program collected new stuffed animals to donate to the Colquitt County Victims’ Advocate Program in November and December for the second annual Teddy Bear Outreach. The stuffed animals will be used to comfort children who are victims of crime or victims of violent circumstances. The Victim Advocate Program provides stuffed animals to local law enforcement officers who may come in contact with child victims. The program also helps the families of child victims from throughout this year at Christmas with gifts, and some of the animals collected will be used for that purpose. Pictured, left to right, are MTC Criminal Justice student Madison Parten, Assistant District Attorney Michelle Thomas, Assistant District Attorney April Senn, MTC Criminal Justice instructor Tara Rakestraw and student Marsha Booth. Rakestraw’s son Matthew assisted with the delivery and joins the collection of stuffed animals on the table.
