Saving Grace Outreach

We were successful in hosting 6-10 kids each day, who were otherwise at home or roaming the streets. Giving them a place where they belong and use their energy for positive things in their community.

Kids were happy to have somewhere to go and have fun. We took them to the library, the wooded trail, outside for painting, gardening, and games. Many have never been on a slip and slide. We also had them learn archery and they loved that they got to use a bow and arrow.  Many families asked if we were having it again and of course we said yes.  

Need to complete the bathroom and kitchen so it is ready for them to learn to cook with Cornell cooperative extension. Thanks for supporting us with this program.  We would have not been able to start this without your assistance.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth O'Neill
