Dear friends of The CARE Center,


As we dive into the summer at The CARE Center, we are excited to kick off another incredible season throughout our community! From community connection, various activities, and learning opportunities to building friendships and creating lasting memories, we are looking forward to a summer filled with joy, growth, and encouragement for every child we serve.


As we begin our annual Summer Camps across three sites, we want to give a huge thank you to everyone who graciously donated snacks for our campers this summer. Your generosity helps make these camps extra special and ensures our children feel cared for, supported, and welcomed each day. We are so grateful for our amazing churches, businesses, volunteers, and community members who continue to come alongside us to serve local families in such meaningful ways.


We also want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2026 graduates! We are so proud of all the hard work, perseverance, and accomplishments represented this year. A special congratulations goes out to our scholarship recipients as they take this exciting next step into their future. Your dedication and determination inspire us, and we cannot wait to see all that lies ahead for each of you.

As you reflect with us on this month’s accomplishments, we hope you’ll see the incredible impact our community continues to make together through volunteering, donations, mentorship, and acts of kindness big and small. Thank you for continuing to support and invest in the mission of The CARE Center and helping us share hope throughout our community!



Blessings,

Andrea Bridges

Thank you to our Garden Volunteers and Donors


A special thank you to The Greenery and our incredible CARE Center Food Pantry Garden volunteers for helping prepare and support our garden this season. From donating compost, seeds, and seedlings to spending countless hours working in the garden, your generosity and hard work are making a lasting impact.


With all the recent rain, the garden is ready to thrive and help provide fresh produce for families in need through our Food Pantry ministry. 🌱
