Kidz Avenue, a free ministry of the Michigan City Outreach team, is held at First Christian Church (downtown at 11th and Lafayette) on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4-6PM. Wednesday's program involves video games, computer games, board games, homework help, crafts, gym sports, and more. Friday's is a movie night only. Ages are 2 and up, as we also have a seperate preschool program for children under 6.

When we started out almost 3 months ago in September, we had 8 kids. We now have 20 regular kids and had 31 kids total this past Wednesday and 35 at our Halloween Party. The problem? We only have 4-10 volunteers total and these kids need and deserve as much one-on-one attention that they can get.

So this is a call-out to anyone interested in volunteering for a couple hours a week. You don't have to stay the whole time though. If you only have 1/2 an hour, come play checkers with a child for that time. Love sports? Come play basketball with some of the teenagers. Have a soft spot for little kids? Come play with the preschoolers. Love to watch movies? Come on Friday and hang out with some great kids. Wednesday or Friday not a good day for you? No problem - we are trying to open up on more days during the week, at request of the kids!
