The taste of slavic village
The Taste of Slavic Village is our signature fundraiser. Held in the fall, we invite local restaurant and food vendors to come and share a “taste” of what they have to offer that makes Slavic Village so special. There is also a raffle, a wine pull, live music and entertainment, drinks, and more!
Homecoming
Homecoming is an annual luncheon in the Spring with a speaker and Q&A discussion afterwards. Every year there is a different theme and speaker. Some past themes have included teaching civil rights and racial bias.
Holiday distributions
During the holidays, we do many different things to make sure our clients are able to celebrate. During Thanksgiving, we give away gift cards or groceries to our clients. For Christmas, we host a toy distribution where parents get to pick out toys for their family. Volunteers help parents through the selection process and wrap the presents for them at the end, which allows the parents to experience that special moment of giving their child a perfect Christmas. We also give away extra groceries and winter items such as blankets, hats, and scarves.
Sneaker ball (formerly known as the father daughter dance)
Every year, fathers from local schools get dressed up and go dancing with their favorite little girl(s). It’s a wonderful opportunity for fathers to make lasting memories and spend quality time with their daughters, eat delicious food, and dance the night away! Families loved it so much, we started having a Mother Son dance as well!
senior prom
Every year, everyone looks forward to attending the Senior Prom. We invite the adults from our Adult Wellness Program along with other older adults from the area and give them a night they won’t forget. Whether they’re recreating old memories or making new ones, they get a chance to get dressed up and boogie the night away!
Save our Children
Did you know 44127 is one of the zip codes with the highest rate of infant mortality? Every year we host the Save Our Babies event where new or expecting parents can come and receive a Baby Box. This box can act as a crib if parents don’t have one at home. It is also filled with other essentials for parents to properly take care of their infant. We also have plenty of resources available and education opportunities to teach parents best practices for a healthy baby such as “Face Up to Wake Up”.
