July Update:
We were able to check in with the girls via a Zoom call for our July 2020 workshop!
We can’t show faces or screenshot the time together, but just know the time is precious and we are grateful we are able to connect with the girls during this time of social distancing.
One of the girls was moving away from the house so we were able to have some special screen time with her !

Hey Chicktime San Marcos,
During this season of Covid, Chicktime Chapters across the United States have not been able to meet face to face at their chapter specific charity partners. Every chapter misses having monthly workshops and are trying to find ways to love them from a distance.
Our sister chapter, Chicktime San Marcos Empowered, is collecting hand sanitizers, for the residents they serve at Brookdale.Senior Living! What a beautiful and easy way to express love from a distance! Let’s help them! Contact Joann, the managing leader of that chapter and let her know you are in and make plans on how you can make the donation!
It takes a village…..never did those words ring more true than NOW!
The Chicktime San Diego Leadership Team dropped off supplies for Rootbeer Floats, 4th of July bingo and prizes too!
Loving from a distance…

June Update
We were finally able to deliver our water day basket to the girls at Elks Aidmore!

Thank you to everyone who helped by donating funds or supplies for the water day basket!
We were able to get a slip and slide, water squirters, water balloons, bubble blasters,
water balloon hat toss, an obstacle course, and more!
I saw the girls at Elks Aidmore when I was dropping off the basket
and they were so excited!
Thank you for helping to put a smile on their faces!

June 2020 drop-off workshop was a success! Chicktime San Antonio Leadership team dropped off two crates full of fruit and cucumbers, tajin spice bottles, watermelon knives, fruit scrubbers and melon-ballers and cups. The crates were beautifully put together with genuinue love from our AMAZING workshop leaders, The Maradiaga Family!
They wrote cards out about fruit and vegetable cleaning and care and now the two cottages that Chicktime San Antonio serves know how to make the best fruit cups ever!
Chicktime Cincinnati dropped off supplies and a tutorial/instructions on how to make earrings. The picture is a sample left for the girls at New Beginnings to use to guide them.

Last weeks fun at SJRC-Bulverde with Chicktime Bulverde. We still can’t wait to see the girls in person, but in the meantime…..We will keep thinking of ways to love them from a distance!
Tuesday, I “loaded” the SJRC kiddos with baked potatoes with shredded chicken and lots of toppings along with the ever popular and highly requested Hawaiian Rolls. Did you like my pun…loaded as in a loaded potato.๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐คฃ
Friday, they were treated to Chalupa Boxes from Taco Bell. Thank you Michael Carman for your donation to help make this happen.
I love you kiddos at SJRC-Bulverde.
Chicktime Bulverde ย Fed the kids at SJRC Chick-Fil-A sandwiches and homemade Mac and Cheese!
They donated supplies to decorate Paper Mache stars in honor of those who sacrificed their lives for our Freedom and also taught them how to make my spicy crackers.
Ended the festivities with Big Red ice cream floats.
Thank you Tara Johsnon for your donation to help Chicktime Bulverde keep showing up for the kids at SJRC and help them through the pandemic!
Chicktime Bulverde could not meet today for our monthly workshop but we did meet up during the week to share the love. We were honored to have Chef Robert Hicks spend his day off, after the busy Mother’s Day weekend, to prepare Chicken Faijaits, rice and beans for SJRC on Monday. You rocked Robert Hicks!!! They loved you’re cooking.
On Friday, the kids enjoyed Schlotzsky’s Boxed Meals. It was the first time for a lot of the kids to be introduced to the Schlotzsky’s experience. Thank you Jillian Bourn and family for your generous donation to purchase the sandwiches.
If you would like to help these amazing foster kids at SJRC during the pandemic, please message me. The feeling you get when you volunteer or donate is PRICELESS!!!
We miss getting to know all the girls we get to serve. COVID has impacted all of us, but it canโt stop us from ding-dong-ditching some crafting/art supplies and pizza! ๐ ๐จ๐ฅฐ We had so much fun shopping for the girls that we didnโt remember to take many photos, but just a few of the things we delivered were:
Canvases
Paint
Tie-dye๏ฟผ kits
Anime drawing book
Bubbles (come on, we all love bubbles)
DIY Face Mask kit
Summer tote bags
And a lot more!!
Weโre grateful for anyone and everyone who has made donations, big and small. Thank you for empowering us to serve our Akron community!
Excited to introduce our newest chapter leader and the amazing team she has built! Stay tuned!
