The Hollister R-V School District is pleased to announce the recognition of Christian Action Ministries (CAM) as the district's November Community Spotlight of the Month. CAM was honored at the November Board of Education meeting for its outstanding contributions and commitment to supporting the Hollister School District and community. Michelle Dean, Executive Director, accepted the award on behalf of CAM.
CAM has been a long-time supporter of families in the community and last year, Christian Action Ministries assisted more than 40,000 residents of Taney County and distributed more than two million pounds of food.
"We are extremely appreciative of the many ways in which CAM gives a hand up to our families who need a little extra assistance," said Mrs. Amy Jo Kilgore, Hollister PK-5 Assistant Principal. "Most recently, CAM distributed groceries, including fresh fruits and vegetables, to families at our annual Night of the Tiger event. CAM is partnering with us this year to provide Thanksgiving meals for families, and they have partnered with Hollister High School's Community Based Learning class, enabling students with special needs to gain valuable job and life skills. "
The Community Spotlight of the Month recognition is a district initiative aimed at celebrating the contributions of local organizations, businesses, and individuals who demonstrate a strong commitment to enhancing the educational experience and supporting the community.
