On Friday January 8, 2016 from 10 -11 a.m., ’s Pre-K Volunteer Program, Aquia Christian Serves, will serve the Stafford County based nonprofit organization, S.E.R.V.E.
S.E.R.V.E. is an emergency assistance food pantry that provides assistance to families one time a month, a Community Pharmacy, and Emergency Financial Assistance for residents of Stafford County. Our Pre-K Students (3 and 4 year olds) will be traveling to the facility and sorting/packaging canned food items for the organization.
There will also be a Service Learning aspect incorporated into our academic curriculum for our students so that they may begin to understand the community service they are committing as well as the impact. The need for Aquia Christian Serves was determined because volunteering is essential to youth’s development and personal growth.
Aquia Christian Academy’s Event Manager, Martese Mason, explains, “With all of the negative influences that happen in the world daily, we hope to encourage and demonstrate social responsibility, positivity, and a passion for helping others. Moreover, it is important to instill this in our youth at a young and receptive age.”.
Aquia Christian Serve’s first community volunteer event was December 18, 2015. Our students raised more than $430 and assembled 43 Homeless Care Packages that benefited the Thurman Brisbane Homeless Shelter. Additionally, our second outreach on December 19, 2015 was located at Marion Manor, an elderly home with Alzheimer’s Disease patients.
Our students interacted and played bingo with the residents.
