What is EN United?

EN United is a community group made up of business leaders, faith based partners, parents and teachers, committed to helping our students have the resources necessary to learn. We know that working together we can do great things to help our students be successful. We started out as " Bright Futures" but decided we had gained the knowledge and organization needed to help our kids, so we now have the freedom or independence which goes along with being a Patriot. We try to facilitate communication so we can match students' needs with resources in our community. We use facebook as a way to post immediate needs of our students and their families. Neighbor helping neighbor. The faces of EN United are many. Our volunteers are our lifeline. Without them, EN United could not exist. Volunteers pack our weekend food packs, which we call "Patriot Packs" for over 130 students at our three campuses. Volunteers also are breakfast buddies or lunch buddies, who donate about 30 minutes each week to share a meal with a student. We hold annual events to help our students such as Stuff the Bus, Back to School Bash and Thanksgiving Baskets. EN United sponsors the very successful All Pro Dads program which is a monthly breakfast meeting for dads and their kids. EN United is also blessed by those who faithfully support our efforts with monthly giving or by lump sum gifts. We have a strong faith based alliance with our area churches as well as support of local businesses. The staff at all of the East Newton campuses have been very supportive and appreciative of East Newton United's activities and have been a tremendous asset to the program.
