THANK YOU FOR ONE AMAZING YEAR
Thank you to everyone who celebrated New Ground's first year with us at our Anniversary Open House on October 20. We are so grateful for your support!
RUMBA RALLY AGAINST BULLYING
On Unity Day, October 21, we were proud to host Fitfully Forward's 3rd Annual Rumba Rally Against Bullying at the Barn.
Our community showed up in orange and danced together for kindness, acceptance and unity. Thank you to Fitfully Forward for bringing this joyful event to New Ground!
THE CHRISTMAS CLAY SHOOT
Join us Friday, December 4 at Garland Mountain Sporting Clays in Waleska. Shotgun start at 10:00 AM.
Teams of four are $1,500 and include a Chick-fil-A breakfast, a Williamson Bros BBQ lunch, 100 targets and ammo, a golf cart, and player gifts. Sponsorships start at $300. All proceeds go to the New Ground Fellowship.
Only a few team spots are left!
JOIN THE NEW GROUND FELLOWSHIP AS A MENTOR
The New Ground Fellowship launches December 6, and we still have room for more Mentors. Mentors complete trauma-informed care training, which can be done at your own pace in one afternoon, then meet with one fellow once a month on Sunday nights, December through May.
The Fellowship serves young adults whose lives have been shaped by foster care, adoption, or difficult circumstances growing up, helping them build independence through financial literacy, life skills, and one-on-one mentorship.
Fellow applications are still open. Know a young adult who would be a great fit? Share the fellowship application.
Questions? Email info@newgroundfoundation.org. Thank you to Chick-fil-A Canton and Credit Union of Georgia for sponsoring the Fellowship.
CARE KITS FOR FAMILIES IN NEED
In partnership with DFCS, New Ground donated personal care items, including hygiene items, toothpaste, socks, wipes and other products, to essentials kits assembled by the Georgia Public Human Services Association (GPHSA) with Amerigroup.
The kits support families with children experiencing homelessness or housing instability, and law enforcement and homelessness outreach teams hand them to families who need immediate help.
BLOCKBUSTER AT THE BARN
Bring lawn chairs or a blanket for family movie night on the farm, Friday, November 6, at 6:30 PM. We're showing GOAT, with snacks, drinks, and Chick-fil-A for sale. Arrive early at 5:30pm to meet a donkey or a goat. One ticket per car, and the event benefits the New Ground Foundation.
BEAU & BUCK'S BOOK CLUB
Our donkeys, Beau and Buck, love having visitors read stories to them. Join us for a morning of stories on the farm Friday, November 13, at 10:00 AM, and again Friday, December 11, when we celebrate Beau's birthday. Bring your own book or read one of ours.
CAKE EVERY DAY
Cake Every Day by Alex Gomez and Kevin Williams is a picture book filled with humor, hope, and a powerful lesson in resilience. Inspired by Alex's true story, it reminds children and grown-ups alike to find the good in every day.
It makes a great gift, ships free, and 100% of profits support young adults aging out of foster care.
