We are so grateful for the incredible support from our local community ❤️🙏

A huge THANK YOU to Van Buren Assembly of God Church for sponsoring a Pie Auction Fundraiser on Sunday, April 26th, to benefit our Parent Diaper Closet! 🥧

As many of you know, CCHC provides diapers and wipes to parents in need across Carter County. With the help of community partners like this, we’re able to continue expanding that support for local families.

Several of our staff will be attending the morning service and the pie auction following—so come join us!

If you don’t already have a church home, this is a wonderful opportunity to hear a great message and take a chance on some delicious homemade pies from talented local bakers.

Come out, support a great cause, and maybe go home with a sweet treat! We can’t wait to see you there 🥧👏
