Sharing the love and hope of Christ while empowering our neighbors with 

education, employment, and crisis support. 💛

 

Dear friends of The CARE Center,


As the leaves begin to turn and we prepare for cooler weather, we’re feeling energized for all that is ahead. September was full of encouragement, from volunteers lending a helping hand, to local partners stepping in with resources, to donors faithfully supporting our mission. Your dedication reminds us daily of the power of community and the hope we can offer together.


It is almost tee time! The Gregg Berens Memorial

“I Golf Because I CARE” Fundraising Tournament is just a couple of weeks away on October 17th, and there is still time to get involved. This event is our only fundraiser of the year and is critical to sustaining the programs that bring help and healing directly to your local neighbors on this side of the mountain. See more details below!


We are also excited to announce that our Don’t Fret, Just Prep event has been rescheduled to Friday, November 1st! This event is designed to equip high school juniors and seniors with practical tools for their future, including FAFSA guidance, college and career planning, and access to local employers and resources. We would love for you to share this event with the students in your life and encourage them to attend. Local employers are still welcome to register to participate, so please help us spread the word! See below for more information.


As we move through the fall, we are already looking forward to the holiday season and especially our annual Christmas Store. This tradition allows families to choose gifts for their children with dignity and joy, and your generosity makes it possible. Be on the lookout for our call for donations coming soon!

We are so grateful to you, our partners, neighbors, and friends, for making this work possible.



Blessings,

Andrea Bridges

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.

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!
