At-Risk: We have a group of approximately 225 children under the age of twelve that are often classified as at-risk. These children are from low-income families. Each day is a constant struggle. They usually cannot afford food or other necessities. School expenses are often impossible to pay. Their lives are often limited to their home or perhaps a few activities at the Resident Activity Center. Our goal with this group is to provide a monthly activity that is in a safe, drug-free environment. We hope to teach morals, values, and exposure to the positive aspects of living a productive life.
A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, what kind of care I drove, the clothes I wore or what house I lived in, but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.
Why have we chosen these children?
We believe that as volunteers, we can make a positive impact on the lives of children who have not been connected with churches, sports, clubs, or any other positive influence.
