HAPPY THANKSGIVING FROM COBB COLLABORATIVE
At Cobb Collaborative, we feel especially grateful that we are empowered to advocate for improving outcomes for children and families in Cobb County. We are thankful for our wonderful member organizations who partner together as we all strive toward the betterment of our community. We appreciate the support we receive in so many different facets as well. This collaborative effort is tremendous and fills our hearts with gratitude!

We will have a special social media "Let's Be Thankful" series leading into Thanksgiving, so please be sure to check out those posts as well.

Extending best wishes for a happy, healthy and safe Thanksgiving holiday from each of us to each of you!
November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month and Project Infinity has partnered with Hundredx on a fundraising campaign. They will donate $2 for every 60-second survey completed.  

One person can complete up to 75 surveys, generate $150, for just a little over an hour of their time. In addition to increasing access to tutoring and internet services, a portion of the funds raised will be used, in partnership with Cobb CSB, to expand their Apex Program and make counseling more accessible for homeless Cobb students.

Please support by participating and sharing. For details, please visit projectinfinityinc.org
