What is Feed the Need? Why should my family participate?
Feed the Need (FTN) is a unique fundraiser that empowers CCS students to raise funds while helping others through an on campus mission experience. Instead of doing candy bar or cookie dough sales, we will gather our students together on November 24th to pack 10,000 meals and serve throughout our community. A portion of the meals will stay here in Cullman but the majority will be sent to Bangladesh. The meals are then distributed to missionaries and aid workers to use as an opportunity to share the gospel. Hear from a missionary in Bangladesh! This truly is an event where students get to be the "hands and feet" of Jesus. From PK to 12th grade everyone will have a job on serve day!
Our goal for this year is $70,000 which sounds like a lot! However, if each family raises $250 we will reach our goal in no time.
Let’s simplify it:
$250 = Ask 10 people to give $25
$250 = Ask 5 people to give $50
Fastest Way: Gain a Corporate Sponsor! It will go towards your family’s funds raised.
Fundraising allows the school to bridge the tuition gap as well as add extra opportunities for learning and fun.
How do I get started?
Scan the QR Code or go to https://p2p.onecause.com/ccsftn-26
Click Register as a Family (If you have participated in Feed the Need before you will choose "I already have an account".)
Fill in the information listed. Decide if you want to make a donation as a family. You can make a donation at any time. We encourage you to pray about making a donation. Making a donation as a family shows others that you are invested in the mission. For example: "Our family has donated $100 to sponsor Emmalyn and Finlee's participation in an at home mission experience. Would you partner with us?"
What do I do now that I am signed up?
Talk to family and friends about sponsoring your student and supporting CCS. Contact Megan Stidham (chstidham@icloud.com) with leads for corporate sponsorships or if you want to be a part of the corporate sponsorship team. We have packets available if you wish to contact any businesses your family has a personal relationship with. Please be sure and write the student's name on the packet before turning into the office, so your family gets the credit.
Looking Ahead to Veterans Day
❗Mark Your Calendar!
We are excited to formally announce our Veterans Day Program will take place Tuesday, November 10th at 8:30 AM. It will be held in the sanctuary at Northbrook Baptist Church. 3691 AL-157, Cullman, AL 35058. This program will feature performances by students in grades PreK through 12th grade in honor of the men and women who have served our country. The program will start at 8:30 but we want to encourage our students to arrive by 8:00. This will allow for everyone to get settled and take bathroom breaks, etc.
We hope you are already making plans to attend! All veterans and/or active service members who are connected with CCS in any way are invited to attend as well as parents, grandparents, and other friends and family.

Financial News
👀Good news for 2027!
Alabama CHOOSE Act
The next cycle of Alabama's CHOOSE Act funding for families will be a little different for the 2027-28 school year. According to the state's plan for program implementation, Alabama families --regardless of income--- will be able to apply for the 2027-28 school year. If they timeline stays the same as the last cycle, renewal applications will likely open in December and new applications in January. We should find out more in the coming weeks!
Educational Choice for Children Act
The federal government has approved a way for families to qualify for financial help that also provides donors a way to directly contribute to their desired school. Financial help for students will be managed through an SGO (Scholarship Granting Organization). For donors, donations can be made and designated to be used specifically at the school of their choice through the Education Tax Freedom Tax Credit.
Education Freedom Tax Credit - Starting in January 2027, donors can claim a dollar-for-dollar federal tax credit: up to $1,700 for individuals, or up to $3,400 for married couples filing jointly, so more children can reach the school that’s right for them.
Learn more about how this will work in Alabama HERE.
