Local News Highlights the Evolve Initiative
Murphy-Harpst received local news coverage recently in the Augusta area.
WJBF, the local ABC affiliate, highlighted the Evolve Homes in the area. Richmond County houses our first Evolve Homes, which house 4-5 children within their local communities. The feature gave an overview of the Evolve Initiative and its impact on the local community.
WRDW, the local NBC affiliate, also produced a story on the Evolve Initiative, this time highlighting the need for school supplies as the new year approaches. Cindy Simpson, Murphy-Harpst’s Vice President of Strategic Initiatives, spoke about the unique challenges that children in foster care face at the beginning of a new school year: “They think they’re in one-grade level when in reality, their credits only show a different grade level. So, they’re coming to a new, new school, meeting new people, and they don’t have the clothes that everybody else has.”
