Belmont Nursing Home

Circle K hosts a board game manicure night for the residents of Morningside of Belmont Retirement Home.

Feed the Children

Project Leader: Lukas
Feed The Children is a Christian, international, nonprofit relief organization that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty, or natural disaster. We go to their big warehouse and pack food packages in an assembly-line fashion. It's competitive and fun!

Project Cure

Project Leader: Mark
Project CURE is a national organization that collects, sorts, and distributes medical supplies to needy countries around the world. Most of their donations are supplies or equipment that would normally be thrown away in the United States, but are much needed in other countries. When we volunteer at Project CURE, we usually sort and package the incoming medical supplies or load a truck with supplies for a specific country.

Ronald McDonald House

Project Leader: Rachel
One to two times a month we will head over to the Ronald McDonald House of Nashville to prepare a meal for the residents and families staying there. Families of patients in the Children's Hospital can stay at Ronald McDonald House while their child undergoes long-term treatment. The families really appreciate our help and the delicious meal, and we get to have fun in the kitchen!

Safe Haven is an organization that provides temporary housing to intact families that are in need. The Safe Haven also educates the parents about how to maintain a home, places the children in daycare after school, and provides free room and board while the families stay at the shelter. We'll be providing childcare while the parents take classes or receive counseling.

Sylvan Park

Project Leader: Rajan
A couple of times a month we go to Sylvan Park Elementary School to work with K-4students in the PNA (Project in Neighborhood Aftercare) program. We generally work with students from kindergarten to second grade. Depending on how much homework the students have, we either help with homework, read a book, color, or go on the playground with the kids. The kids and their teachers really appreciate our help!
