Moore says she’ll never forget when her husband suggested they go into full-time childcare.
“I thought, ‘Gee, that’d be like being in church camp all the time!’ Surprise, surprise,” Moore said.
That was 52 years agom when the family of five moved from Florida to Christian City in South Fulton County.
The faith-based nonprofit cares for vulnerable children. It now has a 500-acre campus.
