November Update:

A Joyful Fall Gathering with Chicktime SA-Westside at Treasured Protégé House

On November 1st, Chicktime SA-Westside hosted a beautiful fall event at the Treasured Protégé House that perfectly captured the warmth and creativity of the season. The day was led by our special guest, Geneva from Chicktime-Marion, who guided everyone through a delightful pumpkin-decorating activity.

Tables were filled with pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, ready to be transformed into colorful fall treasures. Using mod podge and festive autumn-themed paper, we joined in and created charming, personalized pumpkins — each one a reflection of their individual creativity and joy. Laughter, conversation, and a sense of calm filled the room as everyone shared stories and ideas while crafting together.

After the activity, Annette from Chicktime San Antonio surprised everyone with a beautifully prepared breakfast feast. The table was set with special care and featured delicious quiche, pastries, and fresh fruit, paired with chilled juice — a thoughtful touch that made the morning even more special.

The day was a heartfelt reminder of what Chicktime is all about: connection, creativity, and community. Spending time together, learning new crafts, and celebrating simple joys brought warmth to everyone’s hearts. It truly was a wonderful fall day — one filled with smiles, gratitude, and the comforting spirit of togetherness that makes each Chicktime gathering so meaningful.

Play Time - *tx-sadignowityhill

November Update:

This month, our Chicktime and Strong Foundation family gathered under the cool evening sky for a night overflowing with warmth, laughter, and love.

Surrounded by twinkling lights and the peaceful sounds of the night, we spent time connecting, playing, and celebrating the joy of community.

The kids filled the evening with energy and excitement—running, laughing, and sharing joy that echoed through the crisp autumn air. Every giggle and glowing smile reminded us of the beauty of simply showing up and shining

God’s love together.

A heartfelt *thank you* to everyone who gave their time and love on this chilly night. Every shared moment—every laugh, hug, and connection—was a reflection of Jesus’ warmth in action. We can’t wait to see how God continues to move through this beautiful community in the season ahead!

Campus Lighting - *fl-deerfieldbeach

November Update:

Our November workshop was full of fall fun! We played bingo, enjoyed outdoor games, made festive crafts, and even celebrated the Thanksgiving season with some delicious pie—so many flavors, all so yummy! 🥧

Month after month, we’re proud to show up and shine a light of hope and healing in our community. 

We can’t wait to be back in December for the SOS Villages Annual “Light Up the Village” event! ✨

See YOU In January - *tx-boerne

November Update:

I feel blessed and grateful for the ability to show love and care to our girls. Any activity serves as an opportunity to give, to love, and to be present in the lives of our youth. I am thankful for all the committed volunteers who keep returning and spend time with our youth. Mrs. Boddie read I am me and the girls validated their feelings. The girls designed their own buttons and decorated a Day of the Dead mask and skeletons with stickers and markers. We had a spooktacular time. What a beautiful morning together.

Barb Frieler thank you for sharing your love of sewing and donating reversible totes, pillow cases and supply or make up bags for our girls

November Update:

It was so nice to be back at Saint John’s Program for Real Change with Chicktime Sacramento and Pirates of Sacramento.

We combined two of our favorite events, our Pirate Literacy and Harvest Festival for a fun filled morning of games and treasure hunting.

Our volunteers are so amazing and continue to bring month after month fun, compassion and intention.

We were told by a few of the moms we serve how grateful they are.

Happy Happy Thanksgiving - *tx-nbdowntown

October Update:

Our October workshop leader this month was Donnette Tyler, who serves on the Chicktime San Antonio Leadership Team and loves volunteering with all the local chapters in our area. What a blessing to have her drive in from San Antonio to lead our workshop !

She rallied up her wonderful village to help make this workshop a success — and what a night it was!

The evening craft of decorating pumpkins was a huge hit! Participants got creative using paint, craft pens, jewels for blinging and even Halloween tissue for some spooky decoupaging fun. Donnette gives a special shout-out to Annette Goodson and Letty Rodela and Chicktime San Antonio for helping her get all the supplies! We left supplies for the youth to continue crating as several didn’t want to stop when it was time to leave!

Dinner was delicious — a Chick-fil-A nugget platter, fruit platter, mac & cheese, and individual chip bags, Capri Sun and water bottles all made possible with the help of Hannah Hedgpeth, Kris Cox, Lesli Rodriguez, and Mari Alexander. And to top it off, we enjoyed a homemade dessert from Janet Irwine! The youth were so excited about the meal and were heard saying we’ve never seen so much food!

The Chicktime New Braunfels leadership team gave each of the youth pumpkin buckets filled with candy and special treats!! Oh what a night!

It’s so important that Chicktime New Braunfels continues to show up for the youth at the Connections Emergency Shelter month after month — to remind them that they have a village that cares. Tonight was a beautiful example of just how powerful community can be.

We hope that love is always felt every time we gather.

We’ll be back at the shelter on the last Monday in November, and we’d love for you to join us and be part of the Chicktime mission!

Gratitude Journals - *tx-sanantonio

October Update:

Our October workshop looked a little different this month! Instead of our usual 3rd Saturday morning gathering, our chapter was invited to help with Boysville’s Children’s Home Friday Night Halloween celebration and fellowship providing food and fun before their campus-wide Trunk or Treat event.

We were so humbled and grateful to use funds donated to our chapter by our generous volunteers and Chicktime San Antonio supporters for this special project. Because of your generosity, we were able to say yes when Boysville asked if we could provide the food for their festive evening.

We went all-in on the Halloween theme!

• Severed “ Finger” hotdogs ( Zoom in to see the fingernail ) with a little “bloody” ketchup

• A pumpkin-shaped fruit platter

• A veggie tray featuring a carved jack-o’-lantern with orange dip “spilling” out

• Black and orange chips with spooky green guacamole

• Delicious desserts including “dirt cups” (chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms) and pumpkin patch candies

• Witch hat cookies and Halloween sprinkle sugar cookies

• and there was also a funnel cake station and nacho bar for extra treats,

Halloween music and lots of lots and lots of good hang out time!

The kids and staff alike were so appreciative of our participation—and judging by how quickly the food disappeared, we think it’s safe to say everyone enjoyed it!

It’s always an honor to serve at Boysville Children’s Home , and we can’t wait to be back for our regular Chicktime Saturday on November 15th, where we’ll be teaching the girls a little about gratitude and decorating gratitude journals! Tis the season of thanksgiving!

We hope you can join us!

Give Thanks - *ny-syracuse

October Update:

Chicktime Syracuse hosted our annual Pink Party Workshop with the ladies of the Ethel T. Chamberlain House at the Salvation Army! Our Pink Party is a special event held each year to bring awareness to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
It was such a joy to have some “Chicktime” with the ladies as we created awareness ribbons with scratch art. These moments of creativity and connection give the women a safe space to relax, recharge, and feel loved through encouragement, attention, and uplifting activities.
Serving God and caring for His people—especially during challenging times—is truly our honor. 💖
We can’t wait to see everyone next month for our November workshop as we embrace the season of Thanksgiving together! 🍂🦃

October Update;

Chicktime Galveston would like to thank the sweet Jojo Paz for providing a lovely meal for the families at the Pregnancy Help Center of Galveston who attend pregnancy and parenting classes each Thursday.

They are always in need of volunteers.

Giving and Thanks - *ms-jackson

October Update:

This month’s workshop looked a little different. We didn’t have as many girls as usual, and our volunteer group was smaller too — but it turned out to be exactly what God intended. The smaller group made for an intimate time of reading and meditating on His Word.
Our theme was forgiveness, and we brought the parable of the unforgiving servant to life through a skit that everyone participated in — it was so much fun! Afterwards, we had a powerful discussion that went much deeper than we expected. We had prepared a craft, but decided to set it aside so we could continue sharing and reflecting together.
It was one of those rare, perfectly orchestrated moments with the Holy Spirit — full of connection, truth, and peace. Our hearts are simply to spread His light to the girls at Sunnybrook Children’s Home, and we are humbled that God continues to use us month after month.
We would love for you to come out and serve with us. Join the mission! The Chicktime Mission.

Thanksgiving Brunch - *ar-littlerock

October Update:

Last week, Chicktime Little Rock joined our charity partner Immerse Arkansas in celebrating 15 years of transformation and overcoming!

From hearing stories of hope to witnessing the impact of unconditional love and support, we were reminded why partnerships like this matter so much.

Immerse continues to walk alongside youth and young adults as they build brighter futures—one step, one story, and one life at a time.

We’re grateful to play a small part in their journey and can’t wait to see what the next 15 years bring.

It’s All About Being Thankful - *tx-austin

October Update:

It’s That Time Again! Chicktime Austin is Back at the Settlement Home!

We’re thrilled to announce another heartwarming gathering where Chicktime Austin joins the amazing teens of the Settlement Home for a Creative Writing Workshop

This month, the teens were given a starter story to spark their imaginations. From there, they added their own twists and turns, bringing their unique voices to life! But the creativity didn’t stop there—armed with markers, crayons, and stickers, they transformed their stories into vibrant visual masterpieces.

 

What a joy it is to spend this time with them—watching their creativity bloom and their confidence grow. These moments remind us of the power of storytelling and the beauty of connection.

Thank you to everyone who makes this possible. Until next time, keep inspiring and creating!

We had so much fun painting pumpkins with the girls at Tulsa Girls Home this month! It’s so special seeing how comfortable and open they’ve become with us. Their amazing staff always joins in, too -which makes it even better!

They’re getting ready for Halloween and the holidays If you’d like to donate Christmas gifts or come volunteer, message us for more info!

The girls said they had such a fun time painting pumpkins, and we couldn’t agree more!

Pumpkin Pie Time - *ga-conyers

October Update:

Did someone say “Pillows & Pajamas”? Today was our pajama party. We dressed in cozy, soft sleepwear… and some even wore slippers.

Our activity was arts & crafts, and we made throw pillows.

Each girl chose a pillow pattern. They stuffed and sealed their design. These young ladies are very talented, and they really enjoy arts n crafts.

Some even decided to create more than one pillow.

I believe it’s safe to say this activity was a hit. They learned how to create decorative pillows using cloth, cushion, fabric glue, and ribbons.

Having made their own pillow is a tangible memory they can cherish for years to come.

For food, we had a big and fulfilling buffet breakfast!

We served homemade grits, toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, yogurt, fresh fruit, and juices.

Come Be A Blessing - *ga-atlanta

October Update:

For the month of October Chicktime Atlanta treated the girls and the staff to pizza and wings!

Due to the change in Administration we were unable to do a group activity, but we look forward to resuming normal activities next month.

A shout out to our chapter volunteers for being so faithful and supportive of our efforts to love Georgia Baptist Children’s Home. We always want to glorify God in all we do and serve HIS people

Bring On Fall - *mo-kansascity

October Update:

Sheila has a passion for cooking, especially soup in the Fall! She led the girls through making Cheesy Chicken Chowder during our Souper Saturday workshop, which turned out just delicious! As they took turns adding ingredients with her, they shared with her some of their favorite things to cook. The girls learned how to set the table family style and decorated placemats. They then made individual desserts of mug cakes and really enjoyed making custom cakes for each of the volunteers.

As we all sat down at the table, one of the girls openly shared how much it means to her for our Chicktime ladies to spend time with them and how appreciative she is for our monthly workshops of care and support.

The other girls then decided they wanted to go around the table and share what Chicktime workshop they enjoyed the most.

We love our time with the girls; reach out if you are looking for a rewarding way to share your time!

Reading Is So Fun! - *tx-sa southtown

October Update:

This month we want to share more about the Healy Murphy Center and introduce you to their hearts and smiles! We invited staff to sit with us and take a picture communicating our shared love of books and the critical importance of literacy! So many of our donors this month were teachers who donated books from their own classrooms for the children we serve and that was so cool! We also sat down with the Director, Michelle Cervantes to learn more about how we can support them. The center is collecting donations and selling raffle tickets (see video below) to raise funds to purchase an age appropriate Christmas themed book for each child served. When asked how many, Michelle smiled and shared her lofty goal of gifing all 116 children a new book for Christmas. If you want to help, no shopping needed. You can send your tax deductible donations through us and we will take care of everything! You can give by credit card now using this link or mail a check made out to Chicktime to 318 Canterbury Hill St., SA, TX 78209. Click here to donate online.
Joyfully,

Cookie Decorating - *tx-sacentral

October Update:

Today’s Chicktime was nothing short of magical! Miss Vanessa went above and beyond to bring some Halloween spirit to the kids — she brought ceramic Halloween tea light holders and paint markers for them to decorate. The kids loved getting creative, and their excitement was contagious!

For snacks, Miss Vanessa treated everyone to Lunchables, cookies, and cupcakes — and let’s just say, the smiles were as big as the sugar rush!

One sweet girl, new to the shelter, told us this activity was “sooo fun!” — and our hearts completely melted.

At the end, we turned off the lights to see everyone’s glowing creations — and the look on the kids’ faces as their artwork came to life was absolutely priceless.

Before we said goodbye, Miss Vanessa and Miss Jamie handed out goodie bags, which the kids were SO excited to receive!

A HUGE shoutout to Miss Samantha and Miss Selina for helping out and spreading the love. Chicktime is truly a team effort, and we couldn’t do it without our amazing volunteers.

Can’t wait to see you all next month!

October Update:

What a beautiful time together this month with the girls at Big Springs Ranch!
We spoke with the girls about Psalm 139 — reminding them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made by a God who knows them deeply and loves them completely. 💕We prayed, painted, and simply enjoyed each other’s company. Moments like these remind us that when hearts come together in faith, love, and creativity, something truly special happens. 🎨🙏 Grateful for every smile, every prayer, and every seed planted today. 🌿💫
Huge shout out to Rosanna and her Revive team for being true disciples!
What a fabulous field trip for the boys at Big Springs Ranch for Children! From exploring the skies at Uvalde’s airport to enjoying lunch at Mr. Gatti’s, it was a day full of discovery and joy.
Airplanes remind us a lot about life — sometimes the climb feels steep, but with the right support and direction, we all have the power to soar. ✈️
A huge thank you to MaryAnna, Susan, and Tara for stepping up to lead this month’s workshop. Your guidance helps these boys find their win!

Creative Fun at Meadowlands with Chicktime!

Today our Meadowlands girls had an absolute blast designing their own mock dream rooms with help from our amazing volunteers Maritza A. Gonzalez-Cooper Veronica Vela Isabel Valtierra and guest speaker Heather Bateman of Before Your Eyes Interiors!

Using fabric prints, wallpaper, stickers, markers, textured paper, and even tiny wooden furniture, the girls turned simple cardboard boxes into unique, imaginative spaces. They learned about interior design, engineering, and architecture through a fun, hands-on activity — and they’re already asking when we can do it again! What a blessing to be able to spend time with these beautiful kids and share the love of our community!

A Season of Gratitude - *tx-sawestside

October Update:

We had a stitchin’ good time this Saturday at Treasured Protégé!

Ms. Krystal introduced us all to the wonderful world of crocheting. None of us had any clue what we were doing—but that just made it more fun! Hooks were flying, yarn was tangling, and everyone was doing their best not to crochet their fingers together.

BUT… plot twist! One of the girls was acting totally clueless the whole time—pretending like she didn’t know a crochet hook from a fish hook. Then BAM! At the end of the activity, she casually pulls out the CUTEST little crocheted turtle that she made at another shelter! We were shook. Turns out she’s a crochet ninja and was just trying to make the rest of us feel better. We couldn’t stop laughing!

Huge thanks to Ms. Samantha and Laryssa for hanging out with us and adding to the fun!

Stay tuned for next month’s activity—who knows what surprise talents we’ll uncover next time!

Play Ball - *tx-sadignowityhill

October Update:

This month, our Chicktime and Strong Foundation family came together once again for a day overflowing with connection, laughter, and love. From playful moments in the park to creative time making bracelets, every moment reflected the beauty of serving together in community.

The kids filled the day with energy and joy—tossing footballs, blowing bubbles, making colorful bracelets, and sharing laughter that could brighten any heart. Each smile was a sweet reminder of why this mission matters so deeply: to show up, love boldly, and remind others of their worth in Christ.

We were thrilled to welcome new volunteers into the Chicktime family this month! Watching new friendships form, hearts open, and hands create together was a beautiful reminder of how God continues to weave His love through every gathering.

A heartfelt *thank you* to everyone who gave their time, energy, and love. Every shared laugh, every handmade bracelet, and every connection made was a reflection of Jesus’ love in action. We can’t wait to see how God continues to move through this growing community for His glory!

Being Grateful - *md-baltimore

October Update:

Today was one of those days that fills your heart right up. It was a joy leading our volunteer activity at the shelter — a Halloween-themed pumpkin painting with candy, laughter, and endless creativity.

By the end, all 40 pumpkins were gone and the smiles were bigger than ever

 

It’s such a simple reminder that joy doesn’t always need to be complicated — sometimes all it takes is paint, sugar, and a room full of happy kids.

OH Baby! - *tx-sa eastside

October Update:

We had a wonderful time planning the next baby shower and stuffing tote bags with goodies for the new moms at the pregnancy center over lunch this past month. A big shout out to Jeanette, Barb and Chris! Jeanette baked delicious homemade brownies, Chris funded the gift cards for the moms and Barb sewed the tote bags, bibs, and burp clothes! After our delightful time together, we delivered a catered meal to the moms and staff at the center before their class. We were able to spend time with the moms, hear their stories, and support their journeys!
It is just so humbling to be near and support moms in such a vulnerable season. They are reaching out for help and it is such a blessing to say to them, ‘I am here, you are no alone.’
If you like spending time with like-minded friends determined to love others well, please consider joining us one month. And if are unable to join us but still want to come alongside the moms perhaps consider mailing a donation to help purchase the gifts for upcoming baby showers (we help host 4 baby showers each year), or maybe help fund one of the monthly meals we deliver to the center.
Joyfully,

Coffee and Convo - *tn-nashville

Friends,
 We’ve had some changes within our chapter leadership team, and instead of our normal workshop, we felt the best next step was to come together for coffee and conversation.
The blessing:
The incredible women who founded and led this chapter before created a powerful partnership with Youth Villages. Their heart for service and love for the girls who live there laid a strong foundation—one we are so honored to build upon. Now it’s our turn to carry the torch forward and grow Chicktime Nashville into something even more impactful.
We can’t do it without you. 💛
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
— Anne Franko
We hope to see you there!

Have you ever hugged a cow??
Gentle Barn:
This Saturday, Julie Abbot, the director of the Youth Villages generously purchased tickets for all the girls and volunteers to visit The Gentle Barn. For 25 years, The Gentle Barn has been a place of refuge for animals who had nowhere to go and for people searching for hope, healing, and connection. The mission is in direct alignment with the needs of our girls who often feel abandoned and hopeless.
Our guide knew every animal on the farm and could relay their individual story for how they arrived on the farm. Some of these stories were truly tragic, but ALL carried messages of hope to our girls. It reminded the girls that despite the challenges and truly dark times these poor animals encountered, they were saved and are living a life filled with comfort, joy, and love. A story which they can relate.
We were fortunate to have two new volunteers this weekend who got to see and experience the power of ChickTime. We come together as women with a mission to share our gifts with girls in need. Thank you ChickTime for providing this amazing opportunity.
Everyone have fun at the retreat!

Today’s workshop, led by our amazing volunteer, Shelly, was creating amazing art with pastels! As you can see by the pictures, they are quite a creative group of kiddos…and one house parent! There was lots of laughter and chatter among all that were there.
 
 

Pink Party - *ny-syracuse

September Update:

The ladies thought our Chaplain, Minister Mae was leading a simple workshop on Sun Catchers. It actually turned out to be a lesson on transformation and growth.

The ladies did not know how they were going to take an outline of a butterfly, add broken pieces to produce a Sun Catcher. Minister Mae assured them once the SON shines on their broken pieces, they will become beautiful, and they did 💕

It is our absolute pleasure to serve the ladies at the Ethel T. Chamberlain House at the Salvation Army!

September Update:

It’s always a beautiful day to get to hang out with our friends at the Alabama Baptist Children’s Home!

…But when we get to have a Chicktime tailgate party to welcome all things fall—like a grill and chill time with fabulous weather—we feel God’s presence in a beautiful way!

All glory and honor are His for our partnership with ABCH and our commitment to keep coming each month!

“Let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” – 1 John 4:7 (NIV)

Hello Fall - *tx-canyonlake

September Update:

September Chicktime was a blast!

We had tie-dye tshirts at one station and Faith & Fitness at the other.

Thank you to Lora Williams and Miriam for such fun and engaging stations! It’s always such a treat for the girls when they get to make something that they’ll be able to keep with them for a long time.

Thanks to all that came out to join the fun! Hope to see more volunteers out next month.

Halloween Is Coming! - *mi-detroit

September Update:

Our September workshop was a lot of fun! Connie, Maureen, and I had such a blessed time together with the girls.

Connie led the girls in a beautiful service project for All Things Women Inc. Each girl picked out a stuffed animal and created a heartfelt card to go along with it—written as if it were from the stuffed animal itself, welcoming a young child who is entering a temporary shelter. It was incredibly touching to see the kindness, thoughtfulness, and love the girls poured into every card and gift. 🥰

Thank you, Connie, for bringing such a meaningful act of service to our girls. And a big thank you to Maureen for your continued dedication and heart for volunteering.

Moments like these are powerful reminders of the joy and growth that come from serving others. When we give of ourselves, we not only lift someone else’s spirit—we strengthen our own character. Teaching young people to serve helps them build empathy, gratitude, and a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Looking forward to doing it all again soon!

Spooky! - *tx-sacentral

September Update:

We were fired up this past Saturday at The Bridge! 🔥 

Ms. Krystal and Ms. Samantha brought over some donuts and juice for the kids while we waited for our surprise guests! We talked to the kids for a bit and began to bring out games. They were slightly bummed that we had only one new game that we hadn’t played before but they were good sports and continued on. One of my favorite things about Chicktime is just conversations we get to have with the kids. We had a chatty group, and we talked about our favorite moments of the week and learned a bit about each other. 

Not soon after, our heroes came to the rescue! SAFD so kindly came out with engine 19 and the kids were stoked to say the least! The were a bit shy at first as the let the firefighters begin their demo and answered questions about fire safety. 

We then got into the fun stuff! Checking out the truck and all the tools they have on it. The kids got to see the ladders, oxygen tanks, controls, tried on helmets and got to ring the siren! 🚒 The fire fighters and kids took no time in talking and answering questions. I think I heard few times“I want to be a fire fighter!!”. It was truly a sweet moment to witness. 

Lastly, the firefighters opened up the deck gun on top of the fire truck and let our kids run in the water. That thing was powerful! 

We all really enjoyed our time with the kids and we are incredibly thankful to SAFD station 19 for taking the time to come show us the truck and keep us informed. 

We look forward to seeing our amazing volunteers next month! Thank you!

Words are powerful! 

And today the girls at TruLight127 Ministries learned that the words we tell ourselves are important because our identity is found in Christ and He created us perfectly individual and in His image. 🩷

Pizza Please! - *tx-mission

September Update:

Our September Family Fun Night was another beautiful example of community coming together to support one another.

This is exactly what the Chicktime mission is all about—creating a space once a month where families working hard to provide stable, loving homes for children can take a break, have fun, and feel supported.

We all know how meaningful it is to have people in our corner. That’s the experience we want to offer these families—a reminder that they’re not alone.

We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve and would love to have you join us. If you’re able to come alongside us in this mission, we welcome your help with open arms.

Day Out On The Town - *tx-uvalde

September Update:

What happens when women band together and say, “Not on our watch”?

When they refuse to let children in group homes feel unwanted or unloved…

When they show up with crafts, plan fun outings, or even bring special meals—like juicy steaks, sweet corn on the cob, and fresh fruit and salad?!!

Chicktime Smalltown happens.

It’s easy to sit back and do nothing.

But the women of Chicktime Smalltown are called to something greater.

They’re showing up. They’re loving big.

They’re being the hands and feet of Jesus to children who need to know they matter.

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”

— Psalm 82:3

We believe every child deserves to feel chosen and cherished. And we’re just getting started.

 

Join us next month for Chicktime Smalltown October workshop !

Come connect and prepare to pour out God’s love again.

After a summer break from workshops, we’ve returned to SOS Village for Children doing what we do best — showing up with love, courage, and a whole lot of fun!

From little ones crafting to older kids painting, and of course, outdoor play for everyone — it was a day full of joy, creativity, and connection.

Fall Fun - *oh-akron

September Update:

 

Our September workshop of making friendship bracelets was just what the girls needed!

The room was filled with love, interaction, support, and encouragement — everything we hope to create in this space.

This is the reason we show up. Every month.

So the girls can experience these moments of connection, creativity, and confidence.

Together, we’re not just making bracelets — we’re weaving a community. 💫

✨ “When girls support each other, incredible things happen.”

Pj Party! - *ga-conyers

September Update:

Another great Chicktime Saturday is in the books! We had a panini cook-off with five different stations serving up hot, melty sandwiches. The girls got to be the judges, and let me tell you… they took their job seriously!

Big congrats to our winners, Margo & Jenee, with their Garden Grills and Melts! And hats off to our runner-ups, Ashlee, Whitney & Sabrina! While we all truly walked away winners.

We were also treated to another beautiful dance the girls choreographed themselves — it was incredible to see their creativity and joy shine through. These moments of laughter and connection in the middle of life’s storms are what inspire us most.

As always, we’re beyond grateful for the chance to walk alongside these amazing girls and build such special relationships. Until next month!

Pumpking Painting - *md-baltimore

September Update:

This past weekend at House of Ruth, we hosted a “Sip & Paint” with the moms and kids — complete with Capri Suns, snacks, and lots of creativity! 🎨🧃

What I love most about these moments is how something as simple as paint, laughter, and community can create such joy and connection. It’s a reminder that healing and resilience don’t always happen in big ways — sometimes it’s in the small, colorful strokes we share together. 💜

Grateful to be part of spaces that center families, fun, and hope. #CommunityMatters #HouseOfRuth #SipAndPaint

Dreaming and Designing - *tx-boerne

August Update:

The September activity, facilitated by Jeannie Keefe focused on the creation of a vision board. The girls displayed commitment and drive in completing their project. After finishing their vision boards, the girls shared their results, revealing personal ambitions and dreams. The boards were influenced by their cultural identities, strengths, and ability to navigate life’s challenges. Their perspectives were powerful. It was fascinating how they listened and motivated each other as they shared their boards.

Playtime - *tx-sadignowityhill

September Update:

Our September workshop was more than just fun—it was holy ground.
It was garden. A space where seeds of love, hope, and identity were planted—where God’s presence was undeniably felt. Every time we gather at The Strong Foundation, we know we are walking into divine appointment. This isn’t just service—it’s worship.
We don’t come because it’s easy or convenient. We come because we are called.
Called to love His children.
Called to be the light in places where it may feel dim.
Called to remind these young hearts that they are not forgotten—not by God, and not by us.
Many of the children we meet are walking through circumstances they never chose. But we show up to remind them: those circumstances do not define who they are—God does.
He calls them beloved,
He calls them chosen,
He calls them His.
“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.”
— Jeremiah 1:5

Love is in the Air - *tx-sa eastside

September Update:

We hope you can join us soon, we have the best time together planning ways to delight the young moms (and dads) who chose LIFE as we serve the Eastside Pregnancy Care Center!

 

We are in full swing planning the center’s October baby shower so please let us know if you would like to contribute. We need cash donations to go towards Wal Mart gift cards for the new moms, gently used cribs, strollers, high chairs, bassinets, and all of the sweet things new moms need to care for their babies.

 

Please share these needs with your friends, families, churches, book clubs, and more if you feel moved to support moms who chose life:

  • tax deductible donations (to purchase gift cards for the baby shower) can be made by sending a check made out to Chicktime to 318 Canterbury Hill St, San Antonio, TX 78209
  • gently used baby furniture, strollers, etc can be dropped off directly at the Eastside Pregnancy Care Center, 314 N. Hackberry St., San Antonio, TX 78202. Contact the center @ 210-650-2423 for drop off hours.

 

We hope you can join us next month for lunch and love! After lunch we deliver a meal to the young mom’s gathering for their pregnancy class and have the option to stay and help with needs around the center.

Grab a Book! - *tx-sa southtown

September Update:

 

We are so proud to partner with the San Antonio Imagination Library. While Chicktime primarily works with residential programs caring for victims of abuse/neglect, we felt moved to open a chapter focused solely on prevention. While we recognize most homes are healthy and literacy is powerful in the lives of all people, we also recognize that many victims of abuse/neglect go undetected and books can provide hope!

Prevention is the absolute best tool in stoping the cycle of abuse and neglect in our world and while we can’t do everything we can all do something. Arming children with a passion for reading will go a long way in empowering their sense of resiliency and belief they can have hope and overcome! As a survivor of child abuse/neglect I cannot imagine where my life would be without books. It is such a blessing to know there is a simple tool we can use to get FREE BOOKS in the hands of every eligible child and that is what we aim to do in the city of San Antonio through Chickitme SA Southtown!

 

 

 

Halloween Fun - tx-sawestside

September Update:

Big thanks to our September workshop leader, Donnette Tyler, who brought all the things for a super fun and creative journal-decorating session.

We had washi tape, scrapbook paper, composition notebooks, Mod Podge, scissors, and so many stickers—positive quotes, flowers, cartoons, letters, sports—you name it, we had it. The girls had everything they needed to make their journals completely their own.

One sweet girl shared that she’s going to use her journal to write poetry and make vision lists for her goals. How awesome is that?

And let’s talk about the snacks… We had Capri Suns, powdered and chocolate donuts, and chocolate chip muffins—a little sugar boost to keep the creativity flowing!

But the best part? The real conversations—raw, honest, hopeful. We talked about dreams, life experiences, and just showed up for each other. That’s why we do what we do—so every girl at The Treasured Protégé knows she matters, and that we’re here to listen and support her.

Already counting down to next month.

August Update:

As always, our monthly workshop proved to be precisely what the children needed! This time, we explored our creative side and crafted exquisite paper flowers—ideal for embellishing their rooms or adding a splash of color to the common area at Connections. We concluded the day with pizza, ice cream, and the children were thrilled to discover the numerous toppings they could add to their ice cream!

We received a generous donation from Thriven, distributed T-shirts, and provided every child with a Bible.

We cordially invite you to join us in September as we continue to foster community and confidence—transforming lives one workshop at a time. .

What a fun morning of tie dye, lotería and an unplanned music performance by two of our talented girls.
Their creativity and enthusiasm fill our hearts with joy. They will be ready for fun sock day at school, and will add a spark of color to their rooms with new tie dyed pillow cases.
Thanks to our wonderful workshop leader, Betty, and friends for sharing your time, interests, and resources. We hope and pray that you will join us again.
Our morning together ended with our prayer circle where we prayed for a successful school year. It was a blessed morning indeed!

Sun Catchers - *ny-syracuse

August Update:

We had such a great time at our August Workshop!

The ladies thought it was just a simple game of Bingo—but it turned out to be a powerful lesson on enduring to the end.

Many of them felt frustrated when they didn’t win during the game. What they didn’t know was that everyone who stayed until the end of the workshop would receive a prize—just for holding on and being present until the very end!

We are still in awe that God has chosen us to spread HIS Word—even through something as fun and unexpected as a game of Bingo! The women who attend our workshops truly feel seen and loved when we show up—

Not as professionals, not for a paycheck, but as humble, called women walking in obedience.

We were made for this moment.

Join us.

Journaling for the win!

Lots of talking, lots of laughter. No group photo but a great turn out of leaders and volunteers.

Come On Fall - *ms-jackson

August Update:

We forgot to take pictures…..To much fun was going on!!!

 We had a great time playing all kinds of fun games like roll the ball into the cup. Bounce the pencil on its eraser to get it into the cup. We had two teams and there were prizes. so when a team won, they got to choose a prize and then they were still prizes left over, so everybody got to have whatever was left. And pizza for lunch and birthday cake for one of the girls, each person that has a birthday gets a birthday card with money inside. So, of course they like to celebrate their birthday with us. We like it too! 

Let’s Go Camping! - *mo-kansascity

August Update:

Our August workshop was a special one. 💕 Lorie shared about her experience when taking a sabbatical. She spent her time in seclusion, reading and studying the Bible, which lead to journaling and writing beautiful stories. 

She brought the girls their own Bible, lots of cards with verses for inspiration and sticky notes. They flipped through their bibles and verses to find what resonated with them. It was fun to spend the time hearing their stories and about what mattered to them. ♥️ 

Please reach out if you’d like to join this month! It will be a fun filled camping 🏕️ experience!

Dinner Time - *tx-galveston

August Update:

Chicktime Galveston – August Workshop Recap….
Our August workshop was another beautiful step forward as we continue finding our place serving the Galveston Pregnancy Help Center. The connections being made are real, deep, and incredibly touching.
This month, we were blessed by the Templo Emmanuel street ministry team, who prepared a delicious meal of spaghetti, salad, green beans, and sweet treats for everyone. Their generosity and love were felt by all.
The group also received a heartfelt tour from Julie, the director of the Pregnancy Help Center. They were moved by the wide range of compassionate services offered to women and families in our community. One of the most powerful moments came when they got to hold and feel baby models that represent different weeks of gestation — a truly eye-opening and emotional experience.
The team left inspired and committed to continue supporting the center in every way they can. Moments like these are why we love what we do — helping facilitate Kingdom connections so that His work can be done here on earth.
Chicktime Galveston is always looking for more food partners to help us serve a meal once a month. If you or your group would like to be part of this ministry, please reach out to us. Let’s continue being His hands and feet in our community.
With love,
Elvia
