Summer Food Program Kicks Off May 29, 2012

Angie — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:41:40 +0000

With the school year having concluded this week, it is almost time for our Center’s annual Summer Food Program. This year our Summer Food Program will begin on May 29 and run through August 10. This program is essential to our community because through it some children in our community receive meals which they might not otherwise receive. During the school year, many of these children receive a bulk of their needed nutrition through the school menu. Many of the children in our community are from families whose incomes qualify them for free or reduced meals at school. During the summer these meals are not available for the children and their nutritional needs are not always met. Last year was our biggest year ever with the program with a daily average around 300 children fed each day. As with last year, we will be providing the children with a hot lunch, a sandwich with side items to take home for their dinner meal, and a breakfast item for them to eat the next morning. Several churches in our community are helping to prepare these meals but we are still in need of churches or volunteer groups to sponsor a day for these meals. All of the churches will be bringing the food to the Tree House where final preparations will be made before the meals will be loaded onto the RV for delivery. Meals for the children in the Arney Hill neighborhood will be served out of the Tree House Community Center.

Food Still Needed For Summer Food Program

Angie — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:38:16 +0000

This year, due to our kitchen still being under construction we are partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank to help with the
preparation of some of the meals. We are still in need of donations of the following food types: raviolli, spaghettio’s, beanie weenies, lunchables and microwaveable single portions of foods, any type of food that is easy for the child to prepare themselves as a meal or snack. If your church, business, workplace or civic group would like to help us by donating these items, contact our Center and we can designate a food item for your group to collect in a food drive.

Urgent & Immediate Needs

Angie — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:23:30 +0000

Our Center is in an urgent and immediate need of new tires for our RV. The RV is an important part of many of our programs, but especially our summer food program. Without new tires for the RV we will be unable to deliver meals to the children this summer. We are also in need of the following regular canned goods green beans, corn, carrots and large sized cans of chicken noodle soup and raviolli. We also need peanut butter and snack foods such as goldfish, graham crackers, saltine crackers, pudding and granola bars.

Pure Talent & Fashion Show

Angie — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:21:57 +0000

In April we will be hosting our annual Pure Talent Show. The event will be held on Saturday, April 30th at T.A. Dugger Jr. High School. Open Try-outs for the show will be held at Lonestar in Eliz. on Thurs., April 7th from 6-8pm. We will going around to all Carter County Schools for try-outs on April 8th, 11th and 12th. The Talent and Fashion shows are open to all students in 7th-12th grades at any high school in Elizabethton or Carter County as well as to students in those grades who are home-schooled. The talent show will feature singing and dancing as well as a variety of other talents and beauty/fashion. There will be a table of judges for the talent show but the audience will also be able to judge the performances. First place of solo talent will win a CD recording. We will be signing up volunteers to participate in the fashion show. This event is not a fundraiser. The purpose of the event is to help these teens see the beauty of their talents and help build their self esteem. Prizes will be given out at the event. We are currently looking for volunteers to help with both aspects of the event. Contact our Center for more information on how you can help.

At the end of the week, the individuals bringing the items will be given the opportunity to donate their unsold items to our Center and to the local schools. Items which can be used by the center (such as baby items and maternity clothes) will be donated to our center while items for older-aged children will be donated to the local schools. For more information contact Rachael at (423) 895-1293.

Urgent Prayer Request

Angie — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:56:54 +0000

Recently our Center came in contact with a young woman who was greatly in need of our help. She had just given birth and due to her drug addiction, her child was born detoxing. The baby was placed into state’s custody by the Department of Children’s Services . This young woman wanted help with her addiction but she did not have support from family or friends to get the help she so desperately needed. We were able to help this young woman get accepted to a private Christian-based in-house drug treatment program. Please remember this young woman in your prayers as she fights to battle her addiction and remember her child also that it thrives until she is able to change her life and be a mother.
