Back to School Program   Each year children are registered six weeks before school starts to supply them with new back-to-school essentials.  Each child receives new shoes, socks, underwear, jeans, shirt, back-pack, school supplies and health/hygiene items to begin the new school year.  Studies show that children with new back-to-school outfits will look forward to returning to school and perform at a higher level.

Easter Program   Children ages 2 through 7 are registered to receive Easter baskets.  The families receive one dozen fresh eggs and food coloring for the children to color eggs.  In addition each child receives printed materials on the true meaning of Easter and the resurrection.

Christmas Program   Sweetwater Valley C. A. M. P. is dedicated to making sure that Christmas morning is a happy time for some 250 South Cobb children pre-registered to receive toys each year at Christmas. Parents get the opportunity to personally choose from a wide variety of new toys in our special projects room.  Christmas food boxes are given out each year to 200 local families.  The boxes are requested by local schools and churches for families they know to have an immediate need.  SVCAMP fills the boxes and delivers them to the schools and churches for distribution.

Newborn Baby Program  Expecting mothers can register to receive a new baby layette when their baby is born.  The layette contains new clothing, new baby care items, and a special hand made baby afghan to welcome the new child.

COMMUNITY WORSHIP

Good Friday Service   Each year Sweetwater Valley C. A. M. P. sponsors a community-wide Good Friday worship service at the Austell Presbyterian Church, 5895 Love Street.  This is a moving and inspirational service scheduled at the traditional hours of 12 noon until 3:00 P.M.  Seven different pastors from seven local churches come together, each one preaching on one of the seven words Jesus spoke from the cross.  The service is formatted to contain special music and traditional hymns between speakers allowing worshipers the flexibility to come and go during the service as their personal time permits.  Once you have participated in this memorable community service it will quickly become an Easter tradition.

Thanksgiving Eve Service   Sweetwater Valley C.A.M.P. sponsors a community-wide worship service on Thanksgiving Eve.  This worship service is held at a different hosting church each year.  What a wonderful way to begin your Thanksgiving celebrations with a community of caring and dedicated neighbors.
