Vashti Center for Children and Families

We had a great time partnering with City of Thomasville, GA - Government for a fun community event at Thomasville Center for the Arts! As part of their Summer Reading Series, Families enjoyed a free screening of Dog Man and went home with a free copy of the book. 📚🐶

It was an afternoon of fun, literacy, and community connection!

Having fun and relieving stress are essential parts of healing. That’s why Vashti makes summer adventure a priority. Many of the youth in our care have never experienced the simple joys of laughing with friends at a theme park, getting a strike at the bowling alley, or watching the ocean waves methodically lap onto the shore.

Your gift to the Celebration Fund this summer helps Vashti make lifelong memories for our youth. Summer activities and outings help us broaden horizons, create positive energy, and instill life lessons.

Local field trips
Day trips to the beach
Movie outings & concessions
Bowling
Roller skating
Pizza parties
Ice cream socials
Dining out
Bathing suits & beach towels
New summer clothes
Outdoor movie screen rental
Games & art activities
And more!

These “normal” moments are the sacred places where trust is built, relationships are strengthened, and hearts are changed!
