We are humbled and excited to share that The Rest Stop received the Joan & Lee Hope Impact Award at the Kernersville Chamber of Commerce Annual Banquet & Meeting Monday evening!

The Rest Stop began when our staff and board responded to a need in our community. Led by our incredible Rest Stop Director, Gina Floyd and powered by an amazing team of volunteers, it has become a place filled with joy, laughter, & friendship for individuals living with mild to moderate dementia.

None of this would be possible without our incredible partners at Sedge Garden United Methodist Church, who believed in our vision, opened their doors, & said YES without hesitation.

A beautiful reminder of what happens when a community comes together and leads with heart.

Thank you, @ Kernersville Chamber of Commerce, for recognizing The Rest Stop’s impact!

Another Fun-Filled Day at The Rest Stop! We had a total of 35 friends and volunteers today! That’s a good number for a party! 💜

We kicked off our day with Bingo with Louise, and everyone went home a winner! So much fun! Lisa followed with some good old-fashioned chair exercises and stretching. Sometimes it’s best to get back to the basics!

Carol brought a fun fall craft where our friends shared what they’re thankful for and created beautiful leaf designs. We also had a little friendly competition with a modified game of Tic-Tac-Toe. Two teams, lots of cheering, and… another tie!

A big thank-you to Bunker Hill United Methodist Church for sponsoring a delicious lunch of hot dogs, tater tots, baked beans, peaches, and cake. And thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who helped prepare, serve, and clean up! You’re much appreciated.

After lunch, we tested our knowledge of funny old sayings with “What in the World Does That Mean?” Let’s just say some of the answers were as entertaining as the sayings themselves!

We saved the best for last with a visit from The Strum Troopers! 🎶🎤🥁🎻They treated us to some wonderful music and even let our friends join in with their own instruments for the last two songs. Everyone loved it… well, almost everyone! Angela may have gotten a little carried away with the cymbals!

Another day filled with laughter, friendship, music, and memories. That’s what The Rest Stop is all about!

Are you a caregiver who could use a little time for yourself? 🙏🏻 If you’re caring for a loved one and could use a break from the challenges of caregiving, we’d love to talk with you! The Rest Stop offers a safe, fun, and welcoming place for your loved one while you enjoy a little time to rest and recharge.

Please reach out to Gina Floyd at The Shepherd’s Center at 336-996-6696. You don’t have to do it all alone!
