AELC's high school outreach facility, The Rock, is VERY excited about two new programs which will be offered a few times a week after school at The Rock: "Teens’ Closet” and “Showers Rock!”.
At Teens’ Closet, a large closet at The Rock will be stocked with clothing for high school students who need them. For Showers Rock!, the three showers at The Rock will be made available to high school students who have this need.
Below is a list of items needed to get these two important programs off and running:
Teens’ Closet: Clean, casual clothing in good to excellent condition for both male and female high school students. Clothing such as jeans, t-shirts, pullover shirts, button-down shirts, zip-up or pullover hoodies, jackets/coats, and casual shoes. (No socks or underwear, please.)
Showers Rock!: Towels, washcloths, and bathmats in good or excellent condition. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap.
Please contact Krystal Koons if you would like to volunteer your time or donate any of the items listed. Thank you for helping teens who are less fortunate, and for helping us get these two new programs off the ground! |

As approved by the Board of Deacons, AELC has “adopted” local Taylor Hicks Elementary School (1845 Campbell Ave., Prescott) to assist in providing food, clothing, and other necessary items for a growing number of students in need. Through the Taylor Hicks Angel Fund, AELC can make contributions which will allow for the purchase of school supplies and hot lunches; outerwear, footwear, and other basic clothing items; gift cards to local grocery stores for food and necessary items; and Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets — all to be distributed directly to students from the Taylor Hicks administrative office as the needs arise.
Giving to the Taylor Hicks Angel Fund may be made with your regular weekly offering (please designate, “Taylor Hicks Angel Fund” and the amount on the envelope), through Special Fund Giving on the Give Online page of this website, or in the church office during the week. Matching funds will be provided by Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.
Please direct any questions to Amy Buettner, Debbie Smith, Jennifer Garber or Kate Howell.
