The Christian Center Collaborative

As of September 22nd, there are exactly 100 days left in 2026. That is 100 more days to make an impact, support our mission, and help the people and communities that count on us most.

As we head into this final stretch, here are a few ways you can help us finish 2026 strong:

✅Make a year-end gift to support our work through the final quarter and beyond. You can give at this link: https://givebutter.com/christian-center-match-sqttgl

✅Share our mission with someone in your network who might want to get involved.

Whether you have been with us from the beginning or have recently found your way to our community, our team wants you to know how much it means. What we have accomplished this year would not have been possible without you.

As always, if you’d like to connect or have any other questions, do not hesitate to reach out.

September is National Recovery Month, and we want to honor every person who has taken a courageous step toward a healthier life.

Our Eleos Center is often where that first step begins. It's a place where individuals can access showers, laundry, and essential referrals that help connect them to the treatment and support they need. Sometimes all it takes is one door opening to change the entire direction of a person's life.

If you know someone who is looking for a way forward, we're here. Share this post and help us spread hope to someone who needs it today. thechristiancenter.org/eleos-center.

Twenty-five years ago, the world changed, and the courage, resilience, and unity that followed reminded us of what we are capable of in our darkest moments.

On Patriot Day, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to pay tribute to the first responders, volunteers, and everyday individuals who showed extraordinary strength when it mattered most.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

September is Hunger Action Month, and hunger is something we think about every single day.

Our Community Dining Room serves hot meals daily to anyone in Anderson and Madison County who needs one. No requirements, no barriers. Just a warm plate and a welcoming space for every neighbor who walks through our doors.

If this resonates with you, we'd love for you to share this post and help us spread the word. The more people who know we're here, the more neighbors we can reach. Learn more at thechristiancenter.org/community-dining-room.

We wish each of you a wonderful Labor Day! During this annual celebration of hard work, may you enjoy a well-deserved, restful break.

Please note that our office will be closed on Monday, September 7th, in observance of the holiday, and will reopen on Tuesday, September 8th.

School's out, but hunger doesn't take a summer break.

Every day this summer, The Christian Center's Community Dining Room is serving meals to kids and families who need them right here in Anderson. It's something we've shown up for year after year, because no child should go without a meal just because school is out of session.

If you know a family that could use support this summer, we'd love for you to share this post. Together, we can make sure no one in our community goes hungry. Learn more at thechristiancenter.org/community-dining-room

Happy Fourth of July!

Two hundred and fifty years of liberty is worth celebrating with everything you have got. Whether that means fireworks, family, or a mouth-watering backyard cookout, our team hopes you have a patriotic and joyful celebration.

Please note that the office will be closed on Friday, July 3rd, in observance of Independence Day. We will be back after the holiday weekend and look forward to connecting with you soon.
