Raising kids is hard, but raising kids with trauma requires something extra.  Having people around you who understand some of the challenges you are facing makes all the difference.

Once a month, come enjoy a FREE dinner with your family.  Dinner will be served from 5:30-6:00.  At 6:15, we will send the kids upstairs with our trauma-informed trained volunteers while parents have the opportunity to talk.  We will wrap up around 7:30.

Join us at First Fridays (May-October) on the square! Each month we provide an inflatable obstacle course for kids of all ages. Stop by to say hello, or volunteer to help out!

Each week, volunteers facilitate a Bible study at Mill Pond that averages 25-30 residents. Afterward, they are served communion and have a hymn sing.

The Mill Pond Mall is an opportunity for residents to buy items with "Mill Pond Bucks" that are earned by attending other events in the nursing home.  You can support these events by attending the Monday Bible study and spending time with the residents, or by donating items for the mall.
