Dec 2nd: Community Meal sponsored by South Park Christian Church, 6pm
Dec 16th is our Christmas Community Meal and Caroling Night sponsored by St. John's Baptist Church Middle School Group. Bring a dish and join us at 6pm.
We have been overwhelmed at the support and encouragement we have received from you lately. We are happy to announce that due to the commitment and dedication of several women, we have launched the Christian Women's Job Corps mentorship program. Several neighborhood women have been partnered with Hyaets supporters so that together they may grow in discipleship, friendship, and share resources with one another. If you are interested in becoming a partner in this program please contact Jason.
Please join us for our Community Meals. Hyaets hosts a community meal for all neighbors on every first and third Friday of the month at 6pm. All neighbors and friends are invited.
We are in need Community Meal sponsorships. If you'd be willing to prepare the food, attend the meal, serve, and fellowship with neighbors, please contact Helms to schedule a meal sponsorship date.

Hyaets can tailor a project to meet the needs of your group. Here is a list of current project possibilities:
1 How to be a community meal sponsor: Call Helms at 704.392.2346 to see what dates are available. Community meals are almost always on the first and third Fridays of each month except for the summer when they are once a month. The meal is served at 6pm. We ask sponsors to arrive no later than 5:30pm to set up the meal. Sponsors are asked to bring all items necessary for the meal including paper goods, ice, drinks, food, etc. We suggest bringing enough food for 30 neighbors plus the sponsoring volunteers/families. The meal begins with set up. Neighbors will help to serve the meal. Sponsors are asked to join in eating and fellowshipping with neighbors. After we’ve eaten and had time to hang out, we’ll clean up together. Community Meals typically last until 7:30pm. This includes the clean up time. If the weather is nice, the meal will be outside. If not, we’ll go indoors. The location of the meal rotates between the Parkway and Tuckaseegee Houses. Once sponsors have unloaded supplies, they are encouraged to park in the gravel parking lot across from the Parkway house or in the Bette Rae Thomas Recreation Center parking lot.
2 We regularly discover repair and household needs that our neighbors have. If you are interested in helping at one of our neighbor’s homes, please contact Jason at jason@hyaets.org.
