The cookout will inlcude hot dogs, hamburgs, salads, baked beans, pickles, chips, pop and ice cream cones. The Care-A-Van band will provide music while the students enjoy their food.

All Students are invited to bring their friends  and have a good time.

On Sunday, September 13th we will return at 4:30 for a church service beginning at 4:30 PM. Pastor Dale Gooch from the Emmanuel Baptist Church will bring the message.

During the school year, Care-A-Van visits the dorms on a monthly basis. We knock on 95 dorm rooms and bring them a treat, along with words of encouragement and prayer if needed.  Over the years, we have had the opportunity to build relationships with these students. They look forward to our monthly visits and the little suprise package that we bring them.

If there is any organization or church that would like to partner with us and join in on our monthly visits to the dorms, please contact us at 343-0328.  This is a great outreach opportunity for the community.

May God Bless all the students for the new school year!
