We also thank those who donate materials and other items to create the community projects we have. Giving back and volunteering can give you a great conviction, and is a wonderful method to give back to our community and people who are in need. I’ve always heard and believe that we can rise by lifting others up,” Godwin said.

If you or your loved one you love is feeling lonely or isolated, I urge you to visit our center and take a look at what’s provided and meet the folks who call it the home they have always wanted. I can assure you that you will be awed by our activities ranging from fitness crafting, sewing, special events, games dinner dances, and our nutrition program. My staff and myself hope to meet you in the near future.”
