Reimagine Century Today: Food, Clothing And Much More For Those In Need

May 16, 2015

The faithful will reach out during Reimagine Century today to touch the hearts and lives of area residents in need.

“Reimagine Century is going to be better than last year. It’s going to be an event where businesses, the community, agencies, industries and churches come together to not only bless the impoverished, but to unite and serve each other,” said organizer Linda English.

She said the volunteers are on a mission to serve those less fortunate — both  their physical and spiritual needs.

“We do this first and foremost to emphasize that we are one body of Christ. We have lots of denominations, we have racial division, so for one day come together and all that racial division falls down, all that denomination differences fall down, and we just serve Jesus, the one thing we have in common,” she said. “As we do that, we get the benefit of doing what the Bible says, which is to love on each other and love on the poor.”

“It’s honor to serve those individuals that are in need,” English said.

The event will include a wide variety of activities, including a 15,000 pound food giveaway, health screenings, AIDS testing, diabetes information, live music, fishing lessons from Mission Fishin’, free manicures, information from community agencies, a clothing giveaway, free lunch, free haircuts, youth and teen activities and sports, a diaper giveaway and more.

Reimagine Century 2015 will be held today 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the old Century High School at 440 Hecker Road. The event will go on rain or shine.

Reimagine Century is sponsored in part by numerous organizations, including NorthEscambia.com.
