CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – (CLARKSVILLENOW) The third annual Flourishing Families – Christmas in Clarksville event is coming up Wednesday, December 21 from 10 a.m. – noon at the Foy Fitness Center on the campus of Austin Peay State University.
Christmas in Clarksville is a free event that welcomes families with children and offers a hot meal along with Christmas gifts. Proceeds go to help the homeless and low income students and families in the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System. Santa Claus will also be stopping by Christmas in Clarksville.
Flourishing Families was founded in Clarksville by sisters Calendra Blanks and Canadra Jenkins that along with helping the homeless and low-income, also offers career services, financial advice, childcare, educational services, transportation, shelter and counseling.
Flourishing Families has partnered with 5 Star Media, Q108, Beaver 100.3 FM, Rewind 94.3, z 97.5, ESPN Clarksville, Sunny 99.1 and Clarksvillenow.com for gifts but more gifts are needed because there are currently 320 students in transition who have been invited to the event. There are many other students that are homeless or low income that the organization already assists.
