Upcoming WOW Kids Events

We are so excited and busy as we prepare for our launch date for WOW Kids on October 16th!  We've got so much to do and we can't do it without your help.  Thank you for reading this blog, following us on Facebook, and accepting our event invites.  The best way to keep up with everything that is going on is through Facebook.

Here is a rundown of upcoming WOW Kids events! 

CLEAN UP EMMA WHEELER

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH

PINEY WOODS 

(701 HOOKER RD, CHATTANOOGA, TN)

11:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Hamilton County is letting WOW Kids use the old Piney Woods Elementary School/Family Resource Center across the street from Emma Wheeler Homes. It hasn't been used as a school since 1992 and it needs to be cleaned before we start tutoring October 16th! We're going to need lots of help. Even if you only come for an hour or two, your time and effort will be greatly appreciated!

If your youth group or Sunday School class is looking for a service project, then this is the perfect opportunity to get involve

d and help the community!

If you do come, please bring some cleaning supplies if you can. Broom, mop, rags, cleaning gloves, bleach, garbage bags, vacuum, cardboard boxes to store old stuff, etc. The school has very few cleaning supplies for us to use.

If you have anything you would like to donate, now would be a great time to bring it! We will be 

setting up classrooms and organizing as we clean. We have a supply list on our blog page "Wanna Help With WOW Kids?"

LAUNCH DATE!!!  WOW KIDS OFFICIALLY STARTS!!!

OCTOBER 16TH

PINEY WOODS

(701 HOOKER RD, CHATTANOOGA, TN)

4:15 PM - 6:00 PM 

(VOLUNTEERS NEED TO ARRIVE EARLY)

We launch WOW Kids October 16th!  We have so much to do before then, but it will be totally worth it.  I picked the picture of my mom (Kara Akins) trying to help Jasiah when he ran away.  That picture totally describes WOW Kids.  She's leaning down and offering him a chance.  We want to offer a chance to all the kids in Emma Wheeler, and eventually all of Chattanooga and maybe even beyond one day.  A chance to do good in school, a chance to succeed in life, and a chance to meet Jesus.
