The Fayette Youth Protection

Homes has had two offices some distance apart and even combined did not

contain enough space.

They are now located behind

the Gulf Service Station at Ga. Highway 314. An open house was held to

introduce everyone to the new executive office site.

The Youth Protection Homes

operate two homes for abused and neglected children, one in Brooks, and

one in the north end of the county. Each home houses an average of 10

to 12 children.

Sonya Strickland is fulltime

and serves as its executive director. There are four other fulltime and

part-time employees.

Board President Ross Berry

mentioned that they could use some office furniture, and would appreciate

any donation.

The office is located at 125

Commerce Drive, Suite D. The telephone number is 770-371-5051.
