Dear Friends of The CARE Center,


As we embark on a new year filled with opportunities to grow and serve, we reflect on the incredible events, initiatives, and generosity that have brought our community together. January has been a reminder of the incredible progress we have made in Southeast Madison County this past year, as well as a reminder of many more exciting things ahead. To read about last year’s impact, see the graphic below!


First things first, we are thrilled to announce that Leadership Day: Untraditional Pathways to Success is happening on February 20th! This event will feature inspiring speakers and activities designed to empower individuals and strengthen connections. Whether you’re looking to develop leadership skills, network with others, or simply feel inspired, this day is for you. More details are provided below. 


Starting February 5th through April 10th, we’ll also be partnering again with AARP to offer Tax Prep Services. See more details below to make an appointment and take advantage of this valuable resource.


In March, don’t miss seeing our New Hope 21st Century Community Learning Center put on a wonderful show of Matilda: The Musical. This heartwarming production promises an evening of fun and inspiration for all ages!


We’re also excited to announce that this year’s annual Gregg Berens Memorial “I Golf Because I CARE” Fundraising Tournament will take place on October 17, 2025. Mark your calendars for a day of golf, fun, and community impact as we raise funds to support the vital work of The CARE Center. Stay tuned for registration details! Please feel free to reach out to me by replying to this email if you are interested in being a sponsor for this year’s event.


Your continued support makes these events and initiatives possible. Together, we’re building a brighter, stronger community. Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

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.


If you're interested, please contact us: Call 256.723.2273 or email info@thecare-center.org.

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!
