As 2025 comes to a close, we’re reflecting on all the ways you showed up this year — with your hands, your hearts, and your yes.
From natural disasters to holiday drives, it’s because of YOU that hope keeps moving forward!
🚨 From Floodwaters to Hurricanes: Disaster Relief in Action
This year, we were honored to provide emergency disaster relief for communities devastated by:
Flooding here at home in Clarksville, TN
Flash floods in Kerrville, Texas and surrounding areas
Tornadoes across Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri
And even a hurricane impacting families in Jamaica
Thanks to a powerful network of individual supporters, local partners, national nonprofits, and volunteer drivers, we were able to deliver thousands of emergency kits, blankets, hygiene items, food, and so much more — often within hours of need.
🍽️ Feeding Our Communities
Hunger doesn’t take a summer break — and neither did our team. Through our FUELing Summer program, we provided food bags and more for families in need, along with:
Senior outreach efforts through South Central Village
Support during the government shutdown, ensuring no one went hungry
Every bag shared was a reminder that someone cared.
🏘️ Helping Hands for the Homeless & Our Heroes
Throughout the year, your generosity helped us:
Provide ongoing support to homeless neighbors with essentials, hygiene kits, tents, and hope
Help countless veterans as they transitioned into housing — supplying furniture, beds, kitchenware, and even food
It’s not just about things. It’s about restoring dignity, one step at a time.
🎄 Jolly Merry Christmas is here again and we need YOU!
One of the events dearest to our hearts is our Jolly Merry Christmas celebration, created especially for foster families we serve throughout the year. From gifts and treats to joyful connection, it’s a way to say:
“You matter. You’re not forgotten. And you are deeply loved.”
We’re honored to bring smiles, surprises, and Christmas magic to these incredible families.
At our Jolly Merry Christmas event, foster parents shop for free for their children — and we need caring and energetic volunteers to help make this day magical! Volunteers will assist families while they shop, wrap gifts, and help load vehicles. Let’s make this a Christmas to remember — for every child and every volunteer! Sign up and make a difference this holiday season!

✨ Wishing You a Merry Christmas
This season, we’re simply in awe. Of how many people have said yes. Of how far hope has traveled. Of how God has used every act of kindness to remind others they are seen, loved, and never alone.
From all of us at YAIPAK — thank you for standing with us.
You Are Important.
And because of you, hope showed up.
Let’s carry that same heart into 2026. 💛
