We had an incredible monthly meeting today at the Kiwanis Club of Cleburne County! We were honored to host two guest speakers who are making a real difference in our community through health and housing.

✨ Danielle Hall, Sound Therapist Danielle treated us to a fascinating demonstration of sound therapy. She explained how sound vibrations can calm the nervous system and relax the brain, serving as a powerful complement to traditional therapy methods. We all left feeling a little more centered!

🏠 Amanda Pinson, Executive Director of Calhoun-Cleburne Habitat for Humanity Amanda shared the exciting news about the history of local home building, including the start of the first two Habitat homes right here in Cleburne County! She also highlighted:

❤️ Professional home-related counseling services

❤️ The Habitat home goods store in Oxford—a great place to find discounted items while supporting local building projects

A huge thank you to Danielle and Amanda for sharing your time and expertise with us today!

Thank you so much for this tag!!!

💙 Tag Them Tuesday: HEARTS of Cleburne 💙

Today we want to highlight HEARTS of Cleburne, an organization committed to empowering families, individuals, and communities for sustainable growth. Their mission centers on meeting immediate needs while also fostering lasting change through strong partnerships and community support.

One of the most impactful things HEARTS of Cleburne offers is a 24-hour hotline, ensuring that those in need never have to wait for help. Whether it’s food assistance, financial support, clothing, or other essential resources, they are available when it matters most.

At the heart of their work is a strong family-focused mission, which closely aligns with us at CCA Athletics and our commitment to empowerment, support, and community care.

🙏🏽 We are praying for a constant overflow over HEARTS of Cleburne—that their mission continues to pour into our community, meet needs, restore hope, and inspire us all to serve with compassion and purpose.

Thank you, HEARTS of Cleburne, for being a lifeline in our community and for all that you do. 💙

Thank you to the Cleburne County High School Key Club for a great program this morning. It is so heartwarming to see young people engaged in community service. 💙

Today our members donated to their efforts in Fruithurst Elementary School. 🚌 Key Club members are gathering breakfast items that will be given to qualifying students when they leave for Christmas break. They hope to expand to Pleasant Grove Elementary in the future.

Our program ended with HEARTS Director, Robi Mobley, reading about a program that was started in Lincoln schools and also giving a testimony of how HEARTS helps our community. (I didn’t know I would need to reapply my eye liner this morning, but here we are!) 🥺

A great crowd and very heart-felt program this morning! We have the best community when it comes to giving! 💙
