Lindenwood hosts an annual school supply drive for Peabody School to provide supplies to over 150 students and teachers. And Angel Tree gifts during Christmas. We also provide snacks once a month for their staff meetings. We provide supplies to Sharpe Elementary teachers during the week of Valentines and a Christmas party for the kids and families in December.
Team Read
Volunteer tutors make learning fun and provide students with extra time on learning tasks as well as provide a positive role model. Research consistently shows that one-on-one tutoring has a significant and long-lasting impact on student achievement. Volunteers must attend a two- hour tutor-training session and then commit to one hour per week at Peabody School. Training will begin in the Fall (2019).
Room in the Inn
Room in the Inn provides a safe and caring overnight shelter for the homeless during the winter months. We partner with Water Christian Church by providing donations of blankets and toiletry donations. Volunteers can choose to donate supplies (listed above) prepare meals or spend the night. Meals serving times are 5:30pm. Room in the Inn is provided at Cumberland Presbyterian Church @ Quince and Perkins on the 2nd Monday of the month (cold winter months)

There are many ways you can serve including bringing or serving meals, gift cards, ’Adopt a Mom’, toiletries, children’s gifts, etc.
Adopt an Angel
Lindenwood hosts an Adopt an Angel Drive every year to provide Christmas gifts to underprivileged children in our community. Children are selected by Peabody School. Volunteers can choose a child and gift from the Angel Tree.
