Supporters Rally to CCF
Nearly 300 persons gathered for 2 fundraising breakfasts in November; the first on November 10 at Brentwood United Methodist Church and the second on November 17 at Hermitage Golf Course. After an excellent breakfast, everyone got to see our new video. This production highlighted personal interviews with persons who have been closely associated with CCF, including one of our guests, Chris Woods. (Pictured above and also in the Gallery.) Chris told a moving story about winding up on the streets after a series of illnesses in his family and eventually for himself, during which he lost his business. CCF helped him again find himself; he has been sober now for several months, and is again on his feet. The video also included statements from a volunteer and a staff member.
Prior to the video, we heard a moving presentation from Rev. Pat Freudenthal about the ministry of CCF and the importance of not just making a financial contribution but rather becoming involved on a personal level.
Board of Directors President Bruce Long invited attendees to complete pledge cards. Preliminary estimates of giving at these 2 events are now over $100,000 and, if past experience is any guide, contributions will continue to arrive for several weeks.

Donelson Christian Academy Annual Food Drive
For several years now, the Student Council of DCA has planned and conducted a drive to collect food for Nashville non-profits. Originally, the food went to Second Harvest Food Bank but the collections became so large that the Student Council sought a place to share the donations. Fortunately for CCF, Lalia Click, Secretary of our Board of Directors, is also on the faculty at DCA. The rest is history.
The program is totally student-run. The Council devised a "Spirit Point" competition between classes. (A 16-ounce can counts 1 point, 1 pint of detergent counts 5 points, etc. Points can be earned in various ways; for example, there are periodic "dress down" days, when students are not required to wear uniforms. But they have to "pay" for this privilege either by bringing some food/household product to school or make a cash donation. In addition to all of the food delivered this year, there was also $1000 in cash!) This year, the food was delivered on 2 busses from DCA, with the group pictured joining in not only unloading and taking the food inside, but also organizing it on our storage shelving.
The work of the Student Council is supported by Kathye Loftis, their Sponsor. Rev. Pat traveled to DCA on Monday, November 21 to personally thank the students on behalf of the guests of CCF
