Creative Peacemaker Center has received a generous grant of $16,000 from the Women’s Fund of the Blue Ridge. To keep all the promises made in the proposal will require a lot of energy and dedication so I am looking for help!

I need volunteers to help with the children’s program and the women’s programs. Interested?

THE MENTAL WOUNDS OF INCARERATION 

In a culture where trauma is often repressed and pushed away, a panel of individuals will share how their experiences of incarceration have impacted their mental well-being. This free event will take place on Thursday, October 25th from 6 - 7:30 PM at 3rd Place- 132 Appalachian Street in Boone- and is a collaboration between RISE of the High Country and 3rd Place. 

Our OUTREACH CHALLENGE for October is the pantry at App State.  Often students run short near the end of the month and the Pantry serves to assist them.  Cathia Silver, one of our own, monitors this program. Lists of the needed and helpful items are attached to the bags for your donations and can be found in the foyer. Thanks to all who participated in the ingathering of hygiene items for the Women’ s Fund of the Blue Ridge! We gave a bunch!!!
