We support families in need, spread kindness, and honor his legacy by loving others well every day. Who We are

The Caleb Cares Project is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that serves the Clarksville, Montgomery County, Tennessee area. Caleb Slate (https://ajourneyforcaleb.org/caleb/) not only lived, went to school and worked in our community, but he gave his heart and time in commun

ity service and showed love to people every day. This nonprofit strives to honor Caleb and carry on his legacy by using our hands to show love, give back and serve our community in his memory. Caleb died suddenly and tragically when he took his own life on August 12, 2019. Devastatingly, Caleb did not leave behind an explanation or reasons for that choice, but he did leave behind a legacy of love for us to continue. We were not ready for our earthly life with Caleb to end, so this Project helps us keep his name spoken and his love alive. While The Caleb Cares Project is an outreach organization, we also strive to bring awareness to young people and their families that su***de does not discriminate and strongly encourage open and honest conversations at home about what to do when difficult circumstances arise and life turns dark. Our Mission

Our mission is to show love and help meet the needs of under-resourced children, youth and families in our community. We see people for the child of God they are and will show that we love them just as He does. The motivation behind all we do is our love for Jesus and our compassion for people. We strive to enhance the quality of life for those in need in our community. Our Vision

To give, love and serve genuinely and authentically. To show people that we believe they are a big deal around here. Through us Caleb's hands will still give, his heart will still show love and his story will save lives.

Fundraiser update!

As June 30th gets closer, I’ve been reflecting on all the ways our community has shown up for The Caleb Cares Project over the last 6 years.

Every donation. Every share. Every volunteer. Every business partner. Every word of encouragement.

Because of you, we’ve been able to help families keep their utilities on, put food on the table, provide sports opportunities for children, purchase Christmas gifts, offer scholarships, and meet countless other needs along the way.

What started as a way to honor Caleb’s life has become a community of people committed to loving and serving others.

This photo is a note from one of Caleb’s friends and fellow lifeguards. He gave it to us after Caleb’s passing. This is why we do what we do. Caleb cared deeply about people, and we’re committed to carrying that kindness forward.

So far this month, you’ve helped us raise $4,462.97 in support of our mission. For that, I am incredibly grateful. Our goal was $10,000, which leaves $5,537.03. If you can donate $28 or share this with 28 people, that would be great!

Thank you for helping us carry Caleb’s kindness forward. 🧡

Today, we paid the water bill for a single mom of 3 who is facing some difficult, unforeseen circumstances. If it hadn’t been paid today, her water would have been shut off.

Here’s an insight into how The Caleb Cares Project works. She called and emailed requesting assistance. We talked through her situation, I asked her to send me a copy of the bill, and then I called and paid it directly over the phone.

It’s really that simple.

In 13 days, we’ll celebrate Caleb’s birthday.

What began as a way to honor the life of a boy who loved people has grown into something so much bigger than we ever imagined. Because of your support, we’ve been able to help so many children and families over the last 6 years.

Every act of kindness, every family served, and every life touched is part of Caleb’s legacy.

If you’d like to help us continue loving and serving others in his memory, please click the donation link below, or give via another platform listed on the flyer.

Thank you for helping us carry Caleb’s kindness forward. 🧡

This is Caleb.

He is our firstborn, our only son, and the reason The Caleb Cares Project exists.

When Caleb died in 2019, our world shattered. In the midst of unimaginable grief, we made a decision: we would honor his life by loving others well.

Because of your support, we’ve been able to help families with groceries, hotel stays, day-to-day expenses, sports equipment, Christmas gifts for children, weekend snack bags, and so much more. Every act of kindness is a reminder that Caleb’s story didn’t end on August 12, 2019.

Today, we’ve raised $3,877 toward our $10,000 goal. Every dollar given helps us continue serving others.

Thank you for helping us carry Caleb’s kindness forward. 🧡

At Christmastime, we ask our Head Start teachers to ask the students for one thing they want for Christmas, and then we make it happen. Caleb loved Christmas, and I know he would have loved this project! The smiles, the excitement, the joy, the hugs, and the love make it one of our favorite things we do all year. There is something truly magical about helping make Christmas brighter for these children and their families.

Every gift is made possible because of the generosity of people who choose to support The Caleb Cares Project. Through your donations, we’re able to spread kindness, create special memories, and remind these little ones that they are loved and valued. We love loving on these babies, and we are grateful for every person who helps us carry Caleb’s kindness forward.

——————————————————————
It’s been 3 years since we’ve fundraised for our general fund, and we are now nearly out of funds.

Between now and Caleb’s birthday on June 30th, we’re doing a special donation campaign asking for gifts of $28.00 in honor of his sports number, 28. 🧡

Today, I received a call that said:
“I’m a veteran who’s diabetic. I had 2 toes removed this week. I’m out of food and money, and I don’t get paid again until the 1st. Can you help?”

My answer was simple:
“Yes, we can.”

So Caleb’s dad and I went grocery shopping and delivered food to the motel where he’s currently living.

This is what The Caleb Cares Project is all about — meeting people where they are, showing kindness, and helping however we can. But we cannot continue doing this without your help.

Will you consider donating $28.00 to help us continue acts of kindness like this? You can scan the QR code or click the donate button.

And if you’re unable to give right now, would you please share this post with your people? Every share helps us reach someone who may be able to help.

Thank you for loving, supporting, and believing in this mission in honor of Caleb. 🧡
