In partnership with Mission of Hope, we have “adopted” Smoky Mountain Elementary School, located in Cosby, TN. We support this school with various things during the school year. For example,
- Each year, just after school starts, several volunteers from our
church deliver backpacks and school supplies to each child from Pre-K to 8th
grade.
- Each December we take several volunteers from our church to deliver and distribute toys and hygiene for the children from Pre-K to 8th grade for Christmas. We also deliver supplies for the teachers. Mission of Hope asks us to also deliver food boxes and clothing for a number of these students and their families. Each year, at Faith Fellowship, we have purchased shoes and socks for these students.
- We have supplied equipment for their gym, supplies for the teachers, bookcases for classrooms, etc.
