If you have a teen in need of volunteer hours for school, we are in need of volunteers over the summer. We are hoping to have a big work day on Monday if anyone can lend a hand. We would greatly appreciate it!
If they can’t help Monday but can assist on other days, if you can shoot us a message with availability, we would be so thankful!

I apologize for those still waiting for a list. I had to work this weekend, but I will get the lists out to you today. Thank you for your patience.

We still have over 60 kids that are needing sponsors for our Christmas Outreach Party. If you are interested in sponsoring if you could message us, I can send you a child’s list over.
If you want to help, but you’re unable to sponsor a child, you could bring in a brand new toy and we can wrap them and give them to kids .
Also, we need Dollar Tree red and white plastic tablecloths, plastic ware, cups, and disposable plates.
Thank you all so much !

It's that time of year where we start preparing for Christmas for all of the kids in our Outreach program. If you are interested in sponsoring a child, we tried to list our most asked questions below.
When sponsoring a child, we ask that you commit to the following.
1) Each child has 10 presents to open. These do not have to be expensive gifts at all (i.e. socks, nail polish, clothing, coloring books, etc) We do this so that every kid has the same amount of gifts to open.
2) You supply a filled stocking to accompany their gifts. Again, can be filled with small items like toothbrush, crayons, etc.
3) The gifts would need to be individually wrapped and the child's name and family # is on each gift.
4) Please bag your gifts and filled stocking in one of the large plastic Christmas gift sacks (from the Dollar Tree is fine) and attach the child's name and family # on the tag.
5) All sacks would be dropped off at Sweet Repeats between 12/15/25 – 12/17/25.
There is no required dollar amount to sponsor a child.
If all of this sounds great, please click on the "send message" button below and I will forward the list of a local child to you. Thank you so much!
