  Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry

Thank you for the many ways you help Polk County neighbors in need - 

Cool Kids alert - 
Tryon Elementary School 1st Grade Classes toured Outreach this spring to learn more about how the food they collected during their fall food drive and donated to Outreach, helped Polk County neighbors in need.
Girl Scout Troop 13162 paid Outreach a visit earlier this year to learn more about the services we offer and to hear how our food pantry helps out Polk County neighbors. These girls brought girl scout cookies, peanut butter, jelly and cereal for our food pantry shelves.
NC Nicholas Green Award winner Neil Rostick donated his monetary award to his two special charities, Outreach and Paws, Prayers & Promises and to his 6th grade Language Arts teach to purchase novels for her classroom.
