With the help of several CNS church sponsors (Austin Christian Fellowship, Austin Stone, All Saints Presbyterian and Covenant Presbyterian, Christ the King Presbyterian, Austin First Evangelical Church, and Lake Hills Church) Community New Start developed 100 Thanksgiving Baskets and officially handed them out on Thursday, November 19th at the end of Smart Start. The families were truly grateful and this small token of support brought tears and smiles to our families. The children were equally moved as they helped carry the groceries for their parents. I later drove from TA Brown Elementary to JJ Pickle and as drove through the neighborhood, I saw families walking proudly down the street, in hand with the Thanksgiving Baskets that they received. All thanks’ be to God and for the CNS friends, families and churches that support this effort. In addition, our newest partners, BYX (Brother’s Under Christ) members came to help in their first support of CNS and proudly delivered all of the meals to both school. They were terrific, so good that they broke into song when we got to JJ Pickle and had us all singing “Lean On Me” in a glee kinda way! It was beautiful!
Thanks to all our volunteers including Daniel Robles of RR Limousine, Amy Johnson, Suzanne Harris, Christy Robinson, Alex and Jeanette Guzman, John & Lisa Davila, Stephanie Rivers, Courtney Ousley) and all of the rest of our friends for their support. God Bless.
