It's that time of year again. HCOA is looking for numerous volunteers to help us with our biggest event of the year! This years' Nutcracker Faire is bigger than ever with over 70 vendors!

The Faire will be held at Homer High on December 6th and 7th, with set up happening on Friday, December 5th. We are looking for volunteers on all three days. If you are available to help, please fill out the Volunteer Form on our website to let us know when you are available and which tasks you'd be willing to help with.

Please help us spread the word about our need for volunteers! We are a small team & The Nutcracker Faire is not possible without the support of our wonderful community.

Thank you,
HCOA

When hunger weighs heavily, it’s hard to focus, hard to thrive, and hard to stay well. At the Anchor Point Food Pantry, we meet that need with empathy, respect, and cheerful hearts—because no one should have to face hunger alone. We provide a weekly food line and meals, monthly TEFAP commodities, holiday food boxes, summer produce, hungry kids' weekend meal packs and a kids' summer lunch bag program.

We're SO EXCITED to be able to continue our Teen Nights at the SPARC every Friday from 8-10:30pm. This is a FREE night for our Homer teens (7th-12th grade) to hang out in a safe, drug-free environment. Kids have access to all our equipment, including our new ping-pong table. Pizza & drinks will be provided.

***PLEASE bring clean indoor shoes to change into in the entry area. And all minors must have a liability waiver on file signed by parent/guardian***

If you would like to host a Teen Night evening, please fill out the FORM at sparchomer.org/forms/. Some examples of activities that could take place would be basketball, dodgeball, kickball, nerf party, cornhole (we have 1 set), floor hockey (we have soft pucks & 10 sticks), etc.

*** The SPARC received grants to cover some rental costs & food/drinks! ***
