Special Free Food Thursday!

Hello again!

Last Thursday, after an announcement made at Evergreen Middle School, the Teen Center was able to open and serve free food to the youth of McKinley Park. With brand new faces and the return of familiar faces, a refreshing and exciting atmosphere filled the Teen Center as kids played pool, volleyball, and basketball.  Only with your support are we able to provide this safe place for students so thank you so much for all you have done and will continue to do that contributes to the success of our programs.

Fall and winter bring hope of even more memories made at the Teen Center and the staff cannot wait for the rest of the school year ahead of us.  Mackensey was able to snap some pictures of the action on Thursday so enjoy!

Thank you so much again for helping to make the Teen Center the safe and fun place it is to all of these students! We are hoping to continue our Friday Movie Night that starts at 4:30.  While we won't be giving away free hot dogs and chips every Thursday, we are also starting free baked goods every Thursday for any student that comes to the teen center!
