We Need You 

Calling all volunteers! We are greatly in need of volunteers for our Monday and Tuesday Night Programming.  There are two important areas we are concentrating on

  • Food preparers
  • Homework helpers

Many of our children come to Franktown hungry and some would not receive dinner on programming nights if it was not for Franktown and volunteers like you.  Feeding our children is absolutely needed so that they can then settle down and concentrate on their school work.

 

We also need volunteers willing to help a child with their home work. Some of our children are falling behind in their ABC's and 123's because there is no one to help them study or do their homework.  You do not need a college education or special teaching skills, just a desire to help and a little patience.

 

Please call Jimmie (615-708-3491) today to find out how you can make a big difference to a child and it will only cost you 1 hour a week. Our you can sign up on our website by
