Fall happenings at The GreenHouse

The GreenHouse after school program has been going on for a little over two months now! We have 31 volunteers that come every week which gives us the opportunity to serve about 65 students in our 4 programs!
Our club 56 program has recently started. This serves 5th and 6th graders. They meet bi-weekly and discuss topics and the bible. We have a similar program for our teens called Oasis. They meet weekly and send time together going through the bible.

Evergreen, our elementary after school program, has been meeting every monday, wednesday, and friday for the past few months. We have 29 students enrolled in the program and a large waiting list of students who want to be involved in the program. We have many dedicated volunteers for the after school program who show up  every week and help the students with their homework. We could still use some volunteers on Mondays and Fridays. If you or someone you know would like to volunteer at Evergreen, please contact Deborah Elliott at deborah@thegreenhousecenter.org.

R4, the teen after school program, has been a small but dedicated group of students. We have about 7 teens that come on Tuesdays and Thursdays for homework help. We have some great volunteers who know specific subjects to help students with their math, history, and science homework. The are planning on having a few fieldtrips throughout the school year. Just last week, the teens were able to take a fieldtrip to William Jessup University in Rocklin. They had a great time seeing the college.

We also had our annual "Thankful Hearts Food Drive". We were able to serve 42 families with a Thanksgiving meal with the help of:

Sacramento Mutual Housing Association

Tendercare Preschool
Creative Kids Preschool
Comstock Morgage

StudentsFirst

Bridge of Life Church
Sanctuary Church
Fog Willow Farms
FoodCo
Walmart

Coming up on December 16th and 17th, we will be having our Melvin's Hope Christmas Store. We are collecting toys for children ages 0-18. If you would like to donate a gift to The Greenhouse, please contact Deborah Elliott at deborah@thegreenhousecenter.org.

Some great things are happening at The GreenHouse. We are trully blessed.
