- "She spent her life and all her resources to instill values and joy and build dreams of rich lives in the poverty-scarred spirits of the very young. Even though she was childless, armies counted themselves as 'her children' -- three generations over more than forty years." --Kays Gary, Charlotte Observer.
- Anita Stroud worked in the Double Oaks and Fairview Homes public housing areas organizing activities and caring for the children. The Anita Stroud Foundation continues her work.
