Christmas Outreach Helped 11 Families:
Thanks to all who took one or two of the 29 childrem to give a gift of clothing n conjunction with our Holiday Food Basket program for families in need this Christmas. The 11 families we helped included 62 individuals. They were identified and referred to us by Starting Points, a family support center that provides direct services, information, and resources to families. They are a one-stop shop which works with individual families to meet their needs in Morgan County. Most of the families we help live nearby.​​​​​

Giving Thanks, Giving Blessings Concert Greatly Benefited Holiday Food Basket Program:
Steve Warner and Company spread joy this holiday season with their engaging Folk/Americana music featuring original songs and timeless favorites. ​This wonderful concert was also a great success for our Outreach program and we are touched beyond words! Our deepest gratitude for Steve, Allen Terhaar, Mary Etta Boesl, Marc Berk and Bob Murphy. An evening of music, humor and audience participation proved to be the embodiment of “counting our blessings and making our blessings count”.
Our community of family and friends donated food and cash in support of our mission to provide a Thanksgiving Dinner and a Christmas Dinner for 10 local families in need. Many thanks to the musicians, attendees and volunteers who made the evening a great success. God Bless You!
