Snackpac Assembly Volunteers Needed
It's hard to learn when you are hungry! The Snackpac program provides a free, nutritional sack lunch each weekend to qualifying students of the IVC school district who are eligible to receive free lunches. This extends the opportunity for children to receive the nutritional building blocks to thrive in school.
If interested in helping assemble Snackpacs, mark your calendars for these dates linked here at 11 am. Snackpac assembly takes place at First United Methodist Church in Chillicothe.
Nurse Retreat
Little Galilee will be hosting a retreat to any nurse that would like to attend. Join them for a weekend of fellowship, spiritual rest, and relaxation. The retreat kicks off at 6 pm on May 2 and ends at 4 pm on May 3. Breakfast, lunch, and lodging are included in the cost of only $35. The registration fee will be waived for any nurse that is helping with our summer camp. Grab a co-worker and register today for a relaxing 22 hour retreat with other nurses.
Casual Conversation: Foster Care and Licensing with Children’s Home
Join our in-person Casual Conversation on Foster Care and Licensing with the Children’s Home, engage in open, candid discussions and share valuable insights in an intimate, small-group session hosted by Let It Be Us. Meet with our dedicated staff, agency caseworkers, and experienced foster parents as we provide the latest updates on foster care and licensing—and give you the opportunity to ask your individual questions. By offering a stable and loving home, you can make a profound difference in a child’s life. Join us to discover how you can become part of a child’s journey of hope and begin your path to becoming a foster parent.
This rewarding role is ideal for those residing in Peoria, Tazewell, and Woodford counties and surrounding areas. Make a lasting impact on a child’s life by providing a stable and loving home.
