During the COVID-19 crisis, The CARE Center pivoted from a developmental organization to focus on the current crisis and to meet the needs of our neighbors.  However, now is the time to pivot back to our developmental programs which includes school-based education programs, tutoring, mentoring, adult education and workforce programs.  In order for these developmental programs to continue to be successful, we need your support.

Your support will help to change the narrative of the rural communities of Brownsboro, Gurley, New Hope and Owens Cross Roads where more and more children face seemingly insurmountable challenges. When you donate to The CARE Center you are helping families who find it difficult to afford the basics of food and clothing. Your gift gives under-educated adults the opportunity to receive a GED, technical training and workforce development career counseling. You are helping students to close the learning gap through tutoring, mentoring and after school programs. You are also ensuring that kids and youth do not go hungry over the weekend. Where resources are scarce, your partnership will help to fill the gaps.

It is only because of your generosity that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of thousands of families and children within our communities.

Bags of Blessings (BoB) is a weekend food security program that provides food packs to school children from low income families. The CARE Center will provide BoB filled with food intended to sustain a child through a weekend to qualifying families who have school aged children at NHES, NHHS, and OCRS. Virtual Academy students zoned for these three schools may also apply, but will need to pickup your BoB from our Business Office if approved.

Hard copies of this application are also available at your child’s school or at The CARE Center’s Business Office (5414 Main Dr. in New Hope.) Please complete the application regardless if your child received BoB last school year. A new application is required.
