Programs
Embrace
Through our ministries, we are able to offer programs that nurture the wellbeing of local youth during after school hours.
Feeding the Children
Breakfast, lunch, supper & a snack — every day
Our nutrition program, a partnership with the Department of Human Services' Children and Adult Feeding Program and the Tennessee Department of Education's School Nutrition Program, provides breakfast, lunch, supper and a snack daily to local students.
CLI also gives children and youth backpacks filled with nine non-perishable meals that provide nourishment through the weekend because of its partnership with the Mid-South Food Bank's Backpack Program. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, CLI gifts families food baskets thanks to its partnership with Feed the Needy.
