Finals Week for The Cabbage Patch Scholars!
As finals loom, we are so grateful to Girl Scout Troop 1312, who once again this year put together care packages to sustain our scholars as they hit the books and burn the midnight oil. These packages include college life staples like snacks, school supplies and gift cards, but the most valuable inclusions are the personalized notes of encouragement from the girls. With a few simple words, they remind the students that we are all counting on them to be tomorrow’s leaders!

Oxmoor & Progressive Team Together, Give Patch Family “Recycled Ride”
Good things do happen to good people. At least they do when Oxmoor Auto Group and a local team from Progressive Insurance are involved.
Two months ago, Progressive & Oxmoor teamed together through a nationwide community service project called Recycled Rides to repair and donate a recycled car to a deserving local family. Then they called The Cabbage Patch to see if we had a family we could recommend.
Stephanie is a hard-working mother to 11-year-old Aaliyah. For more than a year, Stephanie has struggled with problems with her 2001 Dodge Neon. With no air conditioning, a broken heater, and electrical problem that constantly drained the battery, the car was becoming undependable, and the costs to repair the issues amounted to more than the value of the car.

For a year, he had struggled to get along with other children his age at school and at The Cabbage Patch. Sometimes he would act out to get attention. Other days, he walked in the door with a bad attitude. But staff members and volunteers knew that life at home was not always easy for…
