Stephanie Boaz, a board-certified Christian Life Coach, Counselor, and Batterer Intervention Provider, along with her church, Green Hill Baptist Church, is spearheading again this year a heartfelt initiative to collect donations for a Christmas meal and gift bags for inmates at the Caldwell County Jail.
This initiative to bring Christmas cheer to inmates at the local jail started last year, and Boaz hopes it will become an annual tradition. She explained that she and her church are accepting donations because they saw offering a Christmas meal and gifts as a meaningful way to give back.
