DONATE HERE TO SUPPORT OUR MISSION
 

Sharing the love and hope of Christ while empowering our neighbors with education, employment, and crisis support.

 

Dear Friends of The CARE Center,


As April winds down, we reflect on a month filled with meaningful recognition, community connection, and forward momentum. Every step we take is powered by your support, and we couldn’t be more grateful.


One of this month’s biggest honors was receiving the 2025 Excellence in Charity Award at the True Charity National Summit. Being recognized on a national stage for the work happening right here in Southeast Madison County was both humbling and inspiring. This award belongs to everyone who believes in and contributes to our mission- you’re the heart of The CARE Center! 


While we celebrate this milestone, we’re also focused on what’s ahead. Planning is in full swing for our Gregg Berens Memorial "I Golf Because I CARE" Tournament on October 17, 2025. This annual event is more than just a fundraiser, it’s a day where generosity, fellowship, and fun come together to fuel the programs that serve our neighbors year-round. Find more details below to become a sponsor or sign up a team.


As we move through 2025, we remain committed to creating opportunities, offering support, and building brighter futures in our community. Thank you for standing with us, cheering us on, and making this journey possible. 

Here’s to the impact we’ve made and the incredible work still to come!



Blessings,

Andrea Bridges

Male Mentors Needed


We are seeking responsible male mentors for the school day and our after-school programs. These mentors are crucial in providing guidance and support to the youth in our community. Applicants must be available to meet with their assigned child at school at least once a week during the school day or our after-school program and pass a background check. If you have a passion for making a difference in the lives of young people, we encourage you to reach out and become a mentor.

Food Pantry Wish List


Our food pantry shelves are a little bare right now, so as you go grocery shopping, would you be willing to pick up some extra items for our Food Pantry? To make it more convenient for you, we have an Amazon Wish List where you can order items and have them shipped directly to our Business Office. All donations help ensure food stability for our neighbors during difficult times. Thank you for your support!
