Back-to-School Event Highlights - What an incredible day at Jones Center!
Our parking lot was filled with children, families, volunteers, community partners, music, games, performances, food, laughter, and so many special memories.
With more than 100 children in our Summer Fun Club Day Camp and their families joining us, our Back-to-School Event was truly a celebration of community.
There was so much happening throughout the day that we will be sharing several posts highlighting the wonderful people, activities, and organizations that helped make this event possible.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped us end the summer on such a joyful note! A special thank you to C.B. Kuzlik, Let’s Pave and Let's Roof for making this day possible.

A special thank you to New Harvest Pentecostal Assembly for hosting Vacation Bible School at the Jones Center!
One of the children’s favorite activities was spending quiet time in the atrium, where they had the opportunity to meditate, pray, listen to music, and write their own prayers.
It was a beautiful and peaceful experience that gave our kids time to reflect, express themselves, and connect in a meaningful way.
Thank you, New Harvest Pentecostal Assembly, for sharing your time, faith, and love with the children of Jones Center.
