Park talks with Jacqueline McDonald, President of the Board of Tennessee Action Council, who highlights the nonprofit organization and their two divisions that minister to at-risk children, and then discusses more deeply their ministry called, Helping Hands. The mission of Helping Hands is to preserve the family unit by meeting the needs of families with children at risk of being removed from their homes. In the event that children must be removed from their homes, Helping Hands works to preserve the dignity of the children and respect for their personal belongings by providing new duffle bags to carry their belongings, which demonstrates they are valued.During the interview, Jacqueline provides some of the statistics for the number of youth in foster care and why their efforts are so important, she talks about working with DCS and the impact on the children, and how the community can support their efforts and get involved.Visit www.projectlife4tn.org to learn more.
