LAST CHANCE TO SEND YOUR CHILD TO JERRY'S DREAM CAMP KIWANIS THIS YEAR.
Your child will LOVE this camp. You will LOVE this camp. It is an AMAZING experience. I wish they had a camp session for adults so I could go to camp again.
A week of church camp changed me from being really shy to becoming more outgoing. It gave me confidence in myself I did not have before. That was 70 years ago. I am so thankful for that camp for myself. I wish everyone could have that experience.
We had moved from Tyler to Jacksonville. I didn't know anyone and I was heartbroken missing my friends. Our new church gave me a camp scholarship.
That was before Hidden Acres and Jerry's Dream Camp existed. These are very much like the camp I went to. The kids have fun and make new friends. They don't even know their learning new skills while having fun.
The counselors are great. They are welcoming, caring, and reassuring. They have fun, too.
DON'T MISS YOUR LAST CHANCE FOR FREE CAMP FOR YOUR CHILD.

MONDAY FUNDAY
Our AWESOME VOLUNTEERS arrived early Monday morning to set up for pantry distributions. We are family oriented. Among our volunteers were 3 grandmother/granddaughter teams, a mother and adult son, a married couple and adult son, a mother with 2 children, a married couple with 2 great grandchildren. Also, we had a group of student interns from the MultiCareer Center. Everyone worked hard and had fun helping our neighbors and each other.
We also welcomed Henry as a new donor of produce and more.
Thank you to all who make this mission possible.
