Yodaai Community Involvement: A visit to Adullam House.

Community involvement and service

 is one of the core tennets of our great association 

and this October, we again fulfilled these obligations.

 The social secretary had us doing a Toy collection drive all year long

 for underserved children in the community.

The executive body identified Adullam House,

 a non profit organization in Wetumpka
 that provides home and respite care 

for children of incarcerated people. 

We approached them and they were glad to receive the toys for the kids

 - a jumpstart on their christmas presents!

We got to meet Pete Hackman,

 who together with his wife Angela

 were the original founders of Adullam house . 

                                              

Pete is a preacher involved in Prison Ministry who originally came to Alabama 

from Liverpool England and never left.

 Pete is an unwavering advocate for these kids and

 he cheerfully showed us around the property, taking us to their new school as well, 

telling stories of children that have passed through them and the ones that never left - 

who became their own adopted kids.

Pete's sister, a social worker, visiting from Liverpool, England.

                                                         

 Everything including the land, the chapel and the brand new private school 

was donated by individuals.

We got to meet some of these precious children...

To all who donated generously from your hearts and pockets: Thank you!

You have been a great blessing to these kids. 

Ladies: Remember to think Pink and have your mammograms if you havent already done so!
