Joey Tavana Eagle Project: Agape

Description
Hello everyone,
 
My name is Joey Tavana, and I am currently working on my Eagle Scout project. I have picked a project at the charity Agape. Agape provides transitional housing and support for women and children who are homeless.  In addition to hosting a music program for children, I will be collecting items for the charity. I have created a sign up genius. I hope you will consider donating.

In addition to the collection, I will also be coordinating an activity for the children at Agape on May 9th from 10-12am. This will include an instrument petting zoo. I will be explaining more about the event and my need for volunteer scouts at a future troop meeting. If you are in band or orchestra, I hope you will consider being a volunteer at this event. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at: joeytavana04@gmail.com.

ABOUT AGAPE

Agape provides housing and transitional services to homeless single women, moms and their children that empower them to move from homelessness and crisis to fulfilling, self-sustaining lives. 

The Agape Resource & Assistance Center in East Plano, TX helps women, moms and their children facing situational homelessness. With the help of case workers and counselors, women and children typically stay with Agape from 6 months to a year, during which they gain the skills, strength and stability for self sufficiency. 

While it’s hard to believe that homelessness exists in an affluent area like Plano and Collin County, there are women and children who fall on hard times. Homelessness in Plano looks like staying on a friend’s couch due to an eviction, living in one’s car, or staying in extended stay hotels. 

The Agape location in East Plano was intentionally chosen to be close to childcare and public transportation. Agape uses restored houses and repurposed office space for homes for the homeless, giving new life to the area.
