Project Backyard Christmas (December 2024)

SIGN UP TO SERVE WITH US

There is no better opportunity to give back than during the Christmas season, and we would love for you to join us on Saturday, December 14th at 9:30am at Project Backyard Christmas as we share the love to Jesus with our neighbors in Thomasville. This year, we are partnering with Harper & Scott Elementary, FPC Thomasville, and Townie Fitness to sponsor and wrap gifts for over 25 families who are in need. The teachers of harper are working with the parents of these families to get a “wishlist” for each child, and our role will be to sponsor the purchasing of these gifts and help wrap them. We will then give the gifts to the parents, so that they can have the joy of giving them to their children on Christmas morning.

This is a great way to give back this Christmas season, and we would love for you to be a part of it. If you would like to support and/or volunteer for this service project, you can click the links below:

MAKE A DONATION:

It would not be possible for us to host events like this one without the support and generosity of individuals, churches, businesses, and foundations in the local community. We ask that you prayerfully consider making a donation as part of your year-end giving to help us be able to continue to bless and serve our neighbors in Thomasville.

Project Backyard Thomasville (March)

Volunteers,

Due to the current circumstances involving COVID-19, we have decided to cancel our Project Backyard Thomasville event that was scheduled for this coming Saturday, March 21, 2020.  We want you all to know that we did not make this decision lightly, nor did we do so out of a spirit of fear.  Instead, we made this decision for the following reasons:

  • To support the efforts of our national and local leaders who are working tirelessly to put a stop to the spread of the coronavirus

  • To protect our volunteers who serve with us, as well as the individuals and families who we serve

In this difficult season, we believe God is calling us beyond our fears to a place of renewed faith in the One who is mighty to save, Jesus.  Right now, in the middle of all of this chaos and uncertainty, we know He is still in control and working all things for good in our community, our nation, and throughout the world.

In the coming days and weeks, we will be looking for ways in which we can best serve our community, so please stay tuned for updates.  If you know of any specific needs that you think we can help with, please feel free to contact us at 229.233.0409 or info@projectbackyard.com.

In the meantime, we are praying for you, your family, the Thomasville community, our nation, and our world.

Project Backyard "Summer Lights" Camp

We could not be more proud of these amazing students from Bay Life Church in Tampa, FL! For the last two weeks they have been serving with us in Thomasville, GA to help renovate the old Douglas High School facility and turn it into a community learning center for children. 

They painted over 6000 square feet of the building, built, painted, & installed 6 picnic tables, cleaned, rebuilt, & painted a swing set, repainted all the playground equipment, repaired swings, pressure washed the sidewalks, did yard work around the building, helped spread pine straw around the trees and bushes, hosted a week-long Vacation Bible School for 60+ kids, and helped package more than 4600 servings of food with "Kids Against Hunger". 

We are so thankful for these students giving up part of their summer to come and serve the Thomasville community and show the love of Jesus to those in need in our own backyard! Thank you to all of the leaders, including Brenton Shephard, Jessica Armstrong, Mickey Maldonado, Scott Mobley, David Parrish, Charley Hittinger, Angela Keys, and Bryan Watt for all their hard work in making these projects possible! 

Last but not least, we want to say a special thanks to Bay Life Church in Tampa, FL for sponsoring all of the projects these past two weeks! We could not have done it without you!
