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 the season of thankfulness unfolds, we are filled with gratitude for the incredible ways our community comes together to support our mission. November has been a beautiful example of what we can accomplish when we work together.



This Thanksgiving season, our Bags of Blessings program was a tremendous success! With the help of our mission partners and dedicated volunteers, we delivered many Thanksgiving meals to families in need throughout our community this week. Each bag was thoughtfully prepared to provide a complete meal, offering families the opportunity to gather and celebrate without worry.


As we look ahead to the rest of the holiday season, we are excited to continue sharing joy and hope through our End of Year Giving Campaign and the annual Christmas Store. These initiatives embody the spirit of giving, providing tangible opportunities to uplift children and families in need.


The Christmas Store is particularly special—a place where children in our community can shop for gifts at no cost. Seeing the smiles on children’s faces as they choose their gifts is a heartwarming reminder of why we do what we do. If you’d like to volunteer to be a part of the store, please see details below.


Through the generosity of our supporters, the End of Year Giving Campaign allows us to fund these vital programs and continue our mission of meeting the needs of our neighbors all year long. Your contributions directly impact lives, ensuring that hope and compassion remain at the heart of our local community.


As we move deeper into the holiday season, we remain deeply thankful for the partnerships and generosity that sustain our mission. Together, we are making a difference!



Blessings,

Andrea Bridges

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!
