2016 REVIEW....2017 PREVIEW

2016 was a fantastic year for Extreme Family Outreach (EFO) with record average attendance of 400 at our seven Scooby Doo After-School program sites in Edgewood, Aberdeen and Havre de Grace Maryland.
Our Community Impact programs have grown to include:
* 1,215 personal home visits with our Extreme Visitation Team
*450 students receiving much needed school supplies during
          our August "Back to School Bash"
*208 families received a complete Thanksgiving dinner
         during the "Holiday of Hope" campaign in November
*700 gifts was collected for the "Holiday of Hope" Star Kids program, giving gifts for the
          children in our program and their siblings
*188 children received hats, scarves and gloves during the "Warm Hands,Warm Hearts"
           program in January and February
*Pathway to Peace and Recovery program provided families with addictions to receive
           support
*Free Christmas and Easter breakfast was provided in partnership with Pat's Pizzeria in
            Edgewood serving 284 families

* We also completed our first year of the "Youth Leadership" program with our Youth
Director Ressee Turner. Ressee has made a tremendous impact in the lives of our 24 youth leaders by building relationships with each young person. She has imparted Godly principles and is empowering them to become strong and contributing citizens.
The youth are learning to develope leadership skills, gained self-confidence, and are given opportunities to utilize their gifts and talents through our Community Impact programs.

2017 is going to be another year filled with learning, laughing, leading, loving, serving and growing as we prepare to Impact the Communities with our "Warm Hands, Warm Hearts" project, giving out hats, scarves, gloves and love to the children in January and February, our next two visits will be on Tuesday, February 14th and 28th (call the office for more details). Followed by our "Breakfast with the Easter Bunny" on April 8th, 8:30am - 10:30am, then preparing for the Spring Semester, starting the week of April 18th. So let's get ready!!

Jerry Addicks
"Well Done Thy Good and Faithful Servant"

Jerry Addicks joined Extreme Family Outreach over five years ago. He had a amazing, funny, easy going, loving personality with a great big HEART. He loved God and he loved people.
Jerry heard that Extreme Family Outreach went out into the communities to love on the children and their families through our after-school programs and visitation. He knew that the "door to door" visitation was where he wanted to serve. He loved to talk to people and he loved to listen. Some days he would spend most of his time at one house just listening, loving and praying for their needs.
Jerry and his wife Tweety became the great "Dynamic Duo", faithfully walking the streets of Edgewood every Tuesday to make a difference!
Whenever we were out in the community with our after-school program, Back to School events, Holiday of Hope program, Easter or Christmas breakfast, Jerry was there to serve and to love.
Jerry Addicks also served as a Board member of EFO.

Jerry Addicks went to be with the Lord on
December 19, 2016. For us it was unexpected, but for God, it was not.
We will greatly miss Jerry and our lives are forever blessed because YOU were in it.

We can just imagine hearing those precious words in Matthew 25:23
His Lord said to him, "Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord".

Until we meet again Jerry,
we love you!
