Food drives are held throughout the county starting the first week of October. 

Volunteers and sponsors are asked to provide uncooked turkeys and specific Thanksgiving meal trimmings to help feed up to 500 families who otherwise might not be able to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.

During the month of November, hundreds of boxes are uniquely decorated with love and care by staff and volunteers in the community.

The weekend before Thanksgiving each box is packed with a full meal designed to feed a family of 6 – 8 people. Larger families are handled on a case-by-case basis.

Eligible families, who registered online, are contacted with the date and time to pick up their box.

Financial Literacy

Financial Literacy

 Our Financial Literacy series is held monthly.  Attendees participate in exercises and activities that teach them how to budget, save, handle debt, improve their credit scores, and more.  We also work with them to acquire the skills and ability to use their financial resources to make educated decisions.

Financial Literacy

Every child reserves toys at Christmas. For many families facing financial challenges, this is a difficult task.  With the help of the community, other non-profit organizations, private donations, and corporations, we are able to collect and distribute toys to families that meet the eligibility requirements.

Court Ordered Community Service

 Each year, hundreds of thousands of court-ordered community service workers are placed in nonprofits to fulfill their sentences.     

Courts like alternative sentencing because it can reduce the costs of incarceration and supervision of nonviolent offenders, benefit the community, and perhaps help teach the offender about ethical behavior. Cords of Life accepts offenders that have non-violent, misdemeanor offenses.
