Empowering Developmentally Different Adults
 
July 17, 2021 - PTC Rotary joined with our RCC and helped install insulation at the new housing facility of Two Sparrows Village at Christian City. This facility will empower 4 developmentally challenged adults to live independently on their own. With the longstanding partnership with our PTC Rotary Community Corps, this program and residence is very dear to us! We can’t wait to see the #RotaryKitchen that is being built with a grant from The Rotary Foundation / District 6900 as well for the facility!  Visit TwoSparrowsVillage.org to learn more about this project!
