<p>During the broadcast, Katrina Henry from the Haven of Rest development department details the "Every Child, Every Chance" program, a preventative ministry that partners with counselors at Akron Public Schools to support students and families before they require shelter services. Working primarily with seven schools, the initiative addresses barriers to education by providing immediate necessities such as shoes, winter coats, clothing, and hygiene products, often delivering them discreetly to maintain the dignity of the recipients. As the winter season approaches, the program is focused on distributing full Thanksgiving meal baskets to ten families per school and providing Christmas assistance—comprising both gifts and essential clothing items like underwear and socks—to five families per school. Henry concludes by highlighting the importance of community support through prayer and a business match financial campaign to sustain these year-round efforts.</p>
