The North Greenville Food Crisis Ministry is currently holding our annual school supply drive. This program helps families in northern Greenville County who need assistance providing the very basic materials for their children’s education.
In 2009 NGFCM gave backpacks and school supplies to more than 200 students in our community. Due to the economy this year the need is even greater. Thanks to a very generous community, many students will arrive in their classrooms with the necessary supplies to start the year properly.
(Received from TR Police Cheif Lance Crowe) We would ask you to join with us in congratulating Officer Alva Williams, who this past Saturday (7/10/10) was once again recognized for his hard work, professionalism, and dedication to our community. Alva was selected as a recipient of this year’s “Outstanding Law Officer’s Award” presented in Rock Hill by the Forty and Eight General’s Club. The club was formed in 1973 and its original purpose was to honor and dignify the profession of law enforcement.
Thanks to the support of the community, the George I. Theisen Family YMCA provided in excess of $60,000 in financial assistance through Open Doors to youth and families in 2009. Through gifts to the Open Doors Financial Assistance Program, our branch makes its services available to hundreds in our community each year. Program participants with a financial need are encouraged to apply for financial assistance for any portion of the Y program fee that is not affordable.
