Welcome

“Be the Light of Caring” is the name of The Caring Place’s latest fundraising campaign. The campaign will end on October 5, the same day as the organization’s signature fundraising event, Deep in the Heart of Caring. Funds raised through this campaign will help neighbors in need pay utility bills this year.

The Williamson County and Cities Health District is encouraging a healthy community with their latest events hosted by The Caring Place in Georgetown.  Talk with a Nurse and Talk with a Doc on August 5th and August 13th respectively aim to teach community members healthy habits, beginning with food and nutrition.

When it comes to the services offered at The Caring Place people may think, “I will never need that.”  “I won’t ever have a problem paying my electric bill because my husband and I both worked for years and saved.”  “My spouse has a good paying professional job, so I won’t ever need a Food Pantry to make ends meet.”  “I was a teacher and have a pension. The Caring Place is for other people.”  These are probably common thoughts until a crisis hits close to home.  Neighbors who utilize The Caring Place have a variety of reasons and life circumstances for doing so.  In fact, Cindy Newman could have easily said the statements above.
