Centenary Men’s Group will be going to the UMAR Men’s Group Home to spend some time with the 5 men that live there, building and painting bird houses, and enjoying ice cream and snacks. As these men enjoy watching birds (and have enjoyed the bird feeder our group gave them for Christmas), we thought this would be a fun activity. The home is located at 4566 Shattalon Drive. If you would like to come to this event or if you have any questions, please email Joyner Edmundson (joyner.edmundson@abbotdowning.com) or Thad Brown (tbrown@MEDCOST.com). We hope you can make this fun event.

Food Bank Garden of Centenary at The Children's Home. We are looking into working several times this summer at the Betty and Jim Holmes Food Bank Garden that supplies fresh produce to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwestern North Carolina. In 2011, the garden produced over 9000 lbs. of food!

Samaritan's Inn of Winston-Salem is a men's shelter that operates year round. We are looking at volunteering to serve a lunch meal one day soon.
