One of the civic projects of the John B. Gordon Chapter 383 United Daughters of the Confederacy is to collect items for distribution to several organizations. Members from Dawes Presbyterian Church assisted in the group’s efforts.

In total, 456 items were collected for distribution to two agencies to help children.

Three John B. Gordon members traveled to Atlanta to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Scottish Rite Hospital to deliver coloring books, batteries, nail polish, crayons, socks, blankets, playing cards, modeling clay, bubbles, word search books and solar toys.

As a part of the project, ladies also knitted caps which will be donated to a Thomasville agency.
