The Carrie-Steele Pitts Home in Atlanta received a heartfelt birthday gift for the children’s home 123rd year anniversary. On October 15, 2011 more than 100 volunteers installed new roofs, painted, made repairs to electricity, carpentry and plumbing for the residential apartments and spruced up the landscaping.
