A Special Place Called……..Agape
Agape Community Center is a very special place, because it does so much for the people in the neighborhood. One of the special things Agape does is an event called "Commodities" every month. In this event Agape gives out boxes of food to the local senior citizens in the neighborhood, which is a very sweet thing to do in my opinion. Agape Community Center also provides Community Meals every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights to the local people in the neighborhood. Another special event Agape does is have a day camp every summer for 8 weeks for children ages 4-14. While at the camp the kids have breakfast, lunch and snacks. They also go on variety fields trips, and they also have plenty of fun activities to do while their at camp. Agape Community Center does many more events, too many to name, but these events where just some of my favorites.
So you see, Agape Community Center is a very special place because it helps build the community up. Agape Community Center also has a very strong staff that is forever willing to help you at anytime. So when Dorothy said, “There's no place like home,” she really meant “There's no place like Agape!”
