Fayetteville

The Episcopal Church of the Nativity in Fayetteville has been involved with the summer lunch program for the past few years, making and delivering lunches to children who receive free or reduced rate lunch at school during the school year. Through this interfaith effort, and the leadership of the Rev. Rita Henault, the community is now coming together again to take another step forward for children, by launching a Path To Shine program. The Mentors will meet the children who participate in the program as they get off the school bus on its arrival at the trailer park. Walking to the clubhouse the first day, we know there will be a range of emotions for everyone but we also know they will transform into delight and giggles as the afternoon progresses, and the program becomes a part of the children's routine. If you would like to get involved in this program, please contact Debbie McDonald.

Donate a New Book to a Fayetteville Program Participant

Many children in our programs have limited access to books. Please help us spread the love of reading and provide a few new books to a program participant. Through an organization called First Book, Path To Shine is able to purchase brand new books for program participants for pennies on the dollar. First Book prices range from 45 cents to $5 per book. Your donation of $5 will enable us to purchase at least one new book for a child /donate/in this program.
