BRTC PTK Co-VP’s of Community Service Projects Krystina Compton and Ashley McClish drop off PTK donations to “Together We Foster” Board Secretary Debra Lyles-Benedict
Black River Technical College’s (BRTC) Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) chapter recently held a donation drive to help “Together We Foster.”
PTK collected donations of Easter basket, Easter basket fillers, and individually wrapped snacks and drinks throughout March and donated the items to both the Paragould and Pocahontas “Together We Foster” locations before Easter.
“Together We Foster is so grateful for the donations received from Phi Theta Kappa Members. With their help, we were able to fill over 300 Easter Baskets for Children in foster care located all over Northeast Arkansas,” said Together We Foster Executive Director Lindsay Roberts. “We appreciate the support of this group and the heart they have for their community!”
