Cherryville Days a Smashing Success Featuring Jake the Snake

Kicking off the year with an engaging Community Art Project, spearheaded by our new Youth and Family Coordinator Maya Arcand! Maya has hit the ground running with growing our Arts & Culture programming and getting the whole community involved. Jake the Snake painted by the INCREDIBLY talented Emma Fellenz along with coloring books filled with Cherryville Landmarks really captures our vision for community building and connectedness. Jake the Snake is an ongoing community art project where all are welcome to leave a painted rock, located permanently down at Hansen Park, come and add your rock piece and lets watch him grow! If you do add a rock, take a picture and tag us on Facebook at Cherryville Youth & Families so we can follow along the adventure.

Thank you to all of our staff and volunteers who continue to represent the Cherryville Community Food and Resource Society and support our mission and vision.

Recycled City a Hit!Recycled City a Hit!

Recycled City was a major success among our 8-12 year old kiddos!

It was a super fun 6 weeks watching the kiddos go through the process of designing, planning and creating their cities.

Everyone was so focused and determined to bring their creations to life. There was lots of problem solving, discussion, creative thinking and learning mixed in. It was a joy to see how the recycled materials were turned into buildings, houses and community structures; real and imaginative. The end result was a very diverse collection of “cities” and some super proud creators.
