The Grand Day in the Park was a community outreach and fun puppet show, games, crafts, music and face painting-the theme being, “Be the I in Kind!”

The September meeting was dedicated to residents of Brookdale and Crystal Bluffs Assisted Living Homes. Goodie bags were created with their favorite candy treats and a simple note pad and pen. Making someone’s day a little brighter - offering kindness -is our goal and our calling. Bringing a smile to a senior’s face is the blessing we receive!
Join us for our October 27th Hands and Feet Meeting. We will be making gifts of thankfulness for our local veterans!
Community Outreach
Hands and Feet
The Hands and Feet Outreach Ministry is a portion of the Mission Committee devoted to reaching out to community members -and beyond- with simple acts of kindness. Residents in local nursing and assisted living homes, senior living environments, Meals on Wheels programs, children in local school programs, local police, fire and EMT’s, veterans, and deployed military are some of the many areas Franklin looks to touch with thoughtful cards, sweet treats, and more. They meet the fourth Tuesday monthly at 1:00 p.m.
