New Operating Hours: Outreach has updated our hours to better serve our community. Starting August 1, Outreach will be open until 6:00PM Monday & Thursday. Tuesday & Wednesday hours remain unchanged - 9AM - 12PM & 1PM - 4PM. We will be closed daily from 12 - 1PM and on Fridays. "I want to thank Outreach for helping my family out. Because if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have food for my six year old son. I just wanted to thank y'all from the bottom of my heart." ~ Outreach client Extra Extra ....
Outreach Christmas Card Art Contest Winners announced! Outreach hosted an art contest this Holiday season for Polk County elementary schools. Students from participating schools, Polk Central, Saluda and Sunny View, drew a picture depicting "what giving means to me". Two winners were selected from each school: one from Kindergarten - 2nd grade and another from grades 3-5. Each contest winner received a $25 gift card and was recognized with their art work printed on Outreach's annual Christmas cards. Thank you to these schools for their participation and to all Polk County Elementary School students for their amazing art work submissions!
Get the New Year Started off Right!
"When things get tight (as they always do being a single mother of two), it's great to have this wonderful, dependable place to come to, to help keep our heads above water! Thank you!" ~ Outreach client It Takes a Village
At Outreach, we have over 7000 visits each year from Polk County neighbors requesting assistance with food, financial assistance (rent & mortgage, utilities, medical and dental) and special programs for children (Feed-a-Kid, School Supplies and Holiday) and veterans. Without the help of our generous community, we could not provide this level of assistance to those in need. We're all in this together and at Outreach, we're grateful for all you do to help our community. Thank you!
"The food pantry is a blessing to me and my four little girls. We have had our lives turned upside down and I am very thankful for everyone's help. I hope to eventually be in a place where I will be able to start helping others, like others have helped me. Thank you so much!" ~ Outreach client |
