The first week of August is packed with opportunities to volunteer alongside our students! If you’d like to be part of the fun, just email Taylor to get involved.



As July draws to a close, I find myself reflecting with gratitude on the incredible momentum CAST has experienced this summer—and looking ahead with anticipation to all that’s to come.


One event I’m especially excited about is Rivalry for a Reason, our upcoming golf outing and evening fundraiser. Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or have never picked up a club, I hope you’ll join us! This event promises to be a fun and relaxed evening filled with friendly competition, connection and purpose. Most importantly, it’s a chance to hear firsthand how CAST is making a real impact in our community—and how you can be part of it.


As we turn the corner into August, we’re also preparing for the start of a new school year. That means more opportunities than ever to volunteer alongside our students. At CAST, we believe that when we share experiences, we build meaningful relationships—and those relationships create space for conversations that lead to real life transformation.


If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved, now is the perfect time. Whether you join us at Rivalry for a Reason or sign up to serve regularly this fall, your presence matters. And I can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish—together.


With gratitude,

Sonja White

Multigenerational Service Opportunity at

The Akron Canton Regional Food Bank!

Twice a month, an incredible group of CAST volunteers dedicates their time to making a tangible difference at the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank. This committed crew consistently processes thousands of pounds of food, directly benefiting our neighbors right here in the community.

This past month, we were thrilled to have our #CASTkids join us for the July 14th volunteer opportunity. As we processed 3,813 meals for our neighbors, the true power of a multigenerational service opportunity became wonderfully clear. These experiences not only create a lasting impact in our community but also profoundly shape the lives of our students. Amidst a table filled with donated Starbucks goodies, our adult volunteers shared invaluable wisdom and life experiences, while our students brought an infectious energy and fun. Days like this are truly something to celebrate!

Our Students volunteer at the Food Bank again on August 11th 9-11:30am! If you are interested in joining this crew please use the button below to email Mike.

We are thrilled to share that beginning this school year, CAST will be meeting weekly at The Massillon Boys and Girls Club!

Please join us as we pray for our schools, our students and our CAST Teacher Liaisons this school year!

Preparing for this school year!


We are so excited to be kicking off another fantastic school year! Our high school students at McKinley and Early College High School are busy preparing posters for upcoming open houses, eager to recruit even more friends to join CAST this year.

Our middle and grade school programming is also expanding, with The Massillon Boys and Girls Club now added to our after-school calendar! This year promises to be packed with volunteering, relationship-building, donuts, fun, and sharing the love of Jesus with our students.

If you'd like to help make our after-school programming a success this fall, please check out our supply wish list or use the button to email Taylor and discover more ways you can support CAST this school year.
