Waxhaw's Ray of Hope
Community Outreach
Projects...
SPRING EVENT
Each year, we try to give the Easter Bunny a helping hand and collect Easter baskets and supplies. Our hopes are that each child in the Outreach Program receive their own Easter Basket full of goodies!
For the past two years, Mr Easter Bunny drops by so that the kids get free Spring pictures with him! He is such a great bunny!
BACK TO SCHOOL
We will be holding a School Supply drive in hopes to assist any family struggling to provide these necessities for their children. This is a huge hit to the pocketbook for families who are already struggling. If we are able to help with any amount of supplies at all, it is a huge blessing to them!
PROJECT PROM
​
April 2016 was our first Project Prom event and it was huge success! We took up donated dresses and were able to pass those along to girls in need of a dress for prom!
We plan to continue this event each year!
OUTREACH CHRISTMAS EVENT
The Holidays are difficult for already stuggling families because they are unable to give their children a great Christmas. For four years, we have hosted a community sponsored Outreach Christmas party to make sure that ALL kids have a wonderful holiday season!
WAXHAW WALKS FOR CANCER
​
​We have hosted a Walk for Cancer for 2 years in a row. This is a 1 mile walk around Waxhaw during October to show our support for those fighting this ugly disease.
We dress in our silliest attire and proudly prance through town. In 2014 we donated money from this event to Keziah Jones Inc. and then in 2015 we donated to Came CARE.
THANKSGIVING MEAL
We will be holding a Thanksgiving Meal drive to provide each family in need in our area with a full Thanksgiving Meal. For the past two years, the community has joined together to donate turkeys, fixings and wonderful desserts to ensure each family has a delicious Thanksgiving dinner!
