Arkansas Northeastern College's Community Relations Department hosted a community Fun Day on April 28, 2018, at the Word of Truth Global Ministries where they were welcomed by Bishop Sunny and Tonya Osagie. This was one of several "Fun Days" held by the College as a recruitment opportunity but also as a community appreciation day. Three lucky winners went home with new bicycles while another won a game console.
There were almost 150 people present for the event which included lots of good food, games, and ANC personnel sharing information about the College and the programs and services it has to offer. The Opportunity Bus was on hand to promote the initiative which provides free rides to and from ANC through the help of a 50% matching grant through the Arkansas Department of Human Services (ADHS) using United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) SNAP E & T (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education & Training) funds. The Opportunity Bus operates a daily bus route through designated neighborhoods to bring students to ANC for education and training. The service is free but requires advance registration. Service is available for all ANC students, including those engaged in non-credit workforce training and adult education programs. SNAP recipients receive first priority to comply with the Arkansas Department for Human Services matching grant that helps support the program . Interested persons may call 870-780-1205 for further information.
The next Fun Day is scheduled for Saturday, June 9, 2018 at the Living Word Cathedral C.O.G.I.C./ Pastor Archie Thomas at 503 West Semmes Osceola, from 10:00 am - 1:00pm.
