TATES CREEK STUDENT OUTREACH
This outreach was started by ONELex. Once established, it was turned over to community partners in the area. Tates Creek students who walk home are met and provided with snacks. The goal of this program is to develop mentoring relationships with the students. Many students in this area are at risk and have a higher level of food insecurity.
GAINESWAY COMMUNITY PARTNERS-Our church is located in the Gainesway neighborhood. Community partners meet regularly, discuss, and implement ways to help youth in the neighborhood. Festival of Neighbors is held in the summer as a way to gather community.
We prepare and deliver 50 sack lunches monthly for the food ministry of this very important organization. Thanks to Sequel Catery who generously donates the sandwiches each month.
We love preparing the dinner for the families at Ronald McDonald House the first Tuesday of every month.
