Hello Parents...here are some upcoming retreats:
Spring Break - Mercy & Justice Retreat:
Emmaus Outcry, Mobile Loaves & Fishes and Community 1st Village are offering a very special intensive experience for our teens called the Mercy & Justice Retreat. Your teen will be allowed to experience homelessness, first hand with the aid and guide of Mobile Loaves & Fishes staff and an opportunity to volunteer at the Community 1st Village. 12 service hours will be awarded for the weekend. We will be sleeping in the teepees at Community First Village which is super fun!!!
