I can’t tell you how much your efforts and everyone’s efforts at Cherry Crest meant to me and our staff. What a wonderful day for all and so much accomplished. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
WOW!! You and your crew did a huge amount of work for Enatai! We are so appreciative! Not only is the garden a beautiful spot in Enatai, but it serves a more important mission – allowing us to donate food to Hopelink. Thanks to the efforts of your group, we are able to move efficiently forward for planning this year.
We can’t thank you enough!
Thank you to all the volunteers. It was a Kingdom day and God was exalted. Many lives were and will be influenced by our serving together. We accomplished an amazing amount of work. It could not have been done without you! See you next year
To all Jubilee Volunteers,
Thank you for the tremendous support that you provide, year after year, to our teachers and schools so that we are ready to receive and better serve our students starting with their first day of school. I know that this support cannot be accomplished without a lot of work and outreach to folks in the community. Your vision and commitment to this work is commendable-Thanks again and I look forward to meeting you sometime in the near future.

I had a really good time! It was really fun learning more about fellow Lighthousers doing something as simple (but tedious) as cutting word flashcards. But it was especially neat to learn more about what the teachers there are like and what they do with the kids. All the teachers there are so nice! It’s amazing what they do, and all the time and effort they put into preparing for the school year blew me away. It reminded me of all my favorite teachers in elementary and middle school that I didn’t appreciate as much when I was younger (since I didn’t know any better). And I was very happy to help them and have a greater understanding of their work.
Thank you for the opportunity!

I just wanted to thank you for all you did to organize Jubilee Day at Stevenson. I had the most wonderful group of volunteers in my room!! They did so much to help me prepare for the upcoming school year and I am so grateful for their kindness! I’ll be thinking about them throughout the year as I use the different materials they helped me prepare. Thanks to you and to all the volunteers who gave up their Saturday to help at Stevenson!
