Want to be a blessing? River Oak hosts a group called Get Smart on Tuesday evenings. Get Smart in a nut shell is a program that is mentoring and tutoring at risk children, whether they are struggling in school or having family hardships (abuse, homeless, not doing well in society). They teach life lessons and help where it is needed. They also pray with these kids at each and every event. In addition, they do community projects and field trips with these kids.
On Tuesday, November 26th, they are hosting a “Thanksgiving Dinner” for these students and have asked us if we could help by providing the side dishes for the 80 students that attend. The dishes would need to be delivered to the church by 5:00 that day.
We have created a link where you can sign up for a particular dish. We would LOVE you to help us bless these kids!
