CAYA Ministries Summer Lunch Program
Last summer, with God’s help and the support of our donors and volunteers, CAYA delivered 28,602 lunches. Now we are getting ready to begin again on Tuesday, May 26. As we prepare for another summer of serving children and families in our area, we are asking our supporters to help us start strong. Please give early. The need begins on day one, and early donations help us prepare, purchase supplies, and meet the demand right away. Click the link to learn more: https://mailchi.mp/44e4123a70de/2026summerlunch
Embrace Counseling Community Panel
On May 13, 2026 at 6:30PM Embrace will be hosting a live community Q&A featuring 4 Therapists as panelists to answer questions and interact live for Mental Health Month. The host Church is Wright Street Baptist Church in Marietta, Georgia. Feel free to share the flyer and hopefully we will see you there as we continue to pour in the lives of others and live on purpose.
Paulding Child Advocacy Center Bingo Night
The Paulding Child Advocacy Center serves the children in our area who are involved with child abuse cases. The PCAC works hand in hand with law enforcement agencies to create a comfortable environment for these children during a horrible time in their young lives.
Please consider making a donation, attending Bingo Night(I promise it will be fun) being a sponsor for the event, or donating a raffle basket.
