Project Community will be meeting with parents and students at Prescott Senior Elementary School (grades 7-8) August 12th to start the process of meeting needs on their end. Below you see the feedback card we are encouraging families to fill out in order to receive their free backpack. We don’t want this project to be a free hand-out, not like gifts are a bad thing; we just want this to help create stronger bonds within our community, and creating ownership on all side is the best way to accomplish that goal. If you would like to be a part of project: Meet A Need, shot us off an email and we will get you started with us right away.

Project Community: Building More Than Buildings

While construction is under way at Prescott Senior Elementary, the middle school we are partnering with in the “Have A Need? Meet A Need.” project, construction is under way on a much deeper level here within the Prescott community, as this project connects students and their families, churches and a variety of businesses and community members together for the betterment of all. Our community is being transformed through the shared vision of community ownership, and with great project coordinators and an amazing network of supporters, we will accomplish our mission.

Clothes Closet, final push

OCT 31, 2010 // Starting at 1100a

3000 Prescott Road @ Prescott Church

Community Clothes Closet*

Need a little extra help this year with clothes? Do your kids need a winter coat or just a few items to make a wardrobe? Perhaps you might even need a few things. As a church and community, we want you to know we are all together in this. We are meant to meet one another’s needs.

That’s what we’re doing this Sunday. It all starts at 1100a at Prescott Church. First come; first serve. Take whatever you need. Everything from women’s blouses to men’s pants. Kids clothing and even items for infants. So tell your friends; tell your neighbors. Let’s do this, together!

Staging Day

After two weeks of gathering clothing for the free community wide clothing distribution (Sunday, October 31, 2010), it took four hours of unpacking, sorting and staging to get ready. Really, it’s crazy to think what a community can do when they team up together to accomplish a goal. It all happens Sunday now.

Clothes Closet Wrap

Dozens of volunteers, even more donors and close to a ton (literally) of clothes became available to our community this past Sunday. The end result: The needs of over 100 families (that’s a conservative estimate) were met as they carried off bags of clothing that would take care of their families for months to come.

More than that, we helped foster community on a deeper level and helped stage another success in the future. Thank you to all who took part in this venture and keep an eye out for the next big thing to hit Project Community.
