What a wonderful example of caring for neighbors!

Preschoolers at St. John the Baptist Discovery Center dedicated a day to serving our community by making dozens of Birthday Bags for children served by CAP Agency. Even the youngest learners, starting at 16 months, and their families joined in.

The children selected donated items, decorated and assembled the bags, prayed blessings over them with Father Bobby Pish, and delivered them to “Mr. Nate’s Big CAP Agency Truck.” They learned that everyone has gifts to share—and that blessing others feels good.

Learn more about the Discovery Center at www.ladcfamilies.org. This faith-based nonprofit nurtures children ages 16 months to 5 years through core learning, before-and-after school care, and summer programs.

CAP Agency works with individuals, families, and community partners to build social and economic well-being. Join us at www.capagency.org as we work together to build a better tomorrow for all our neighbors!

Spread kindness and holiday cheer by adopting a family in your community. Families will submit their wish lists, and donors are matched to provide gifts for each child ($50 value) and a $50 gift card for the parents. Help make their holidays truly unforgettable!
