A WALK IN LIFE
I hope you'll join on March 8 to take action and end homelessness. Along the one mile route, you’ll hear from Agate staff and former clients! As you experience the cold, you’ll learn more about the realities of surviving in it.  Followed by a warm dinner at the food center.  If you are unable to attend but would like to support to end homelessness you can make a donation.  Please sign up this weekend for the walk or make a donation to support the CTK Team.

Tonight, over 1,000 of our neighbors are going to sleep outside. In the last year, homelessness has increased by almost 10% and we need to do something to fix that. And you can help!

 

EASTER BASKET DRIVE
We will be collecting Easter Baskets for Children of Ascension Church/School. Baskets can be any size or color, we just want to brighten a childs Easter morning.
