Mission Statement

Jaminsons' and T.A.M.E. Summer Food Program is a feed the hungry project in the city of Texarkana, Arkansas and Texas. We Serve hungry youths 18 years and under. We also have a Amateur Boxing program, obesity fitness program, drug and alcohol prevention, tuturing, mentoring, and computer labs for Internet research. We will set up feeding sites through out Texarkana Arkansas and eventually Texas the next month. Our focus is to feed our youth while school is pout, only 2% of youths eat properly when school lets out for the summer. We have contracts with DHS/USDA and city parks and recreation. We had our initiation meeting and they are encouraging us to set up in housing authority's, lots, low income housing complexes. Senate pass a law to feed all children in USA and keep exercises at least one hour a day. We will start working on a summer camp to take the youths once per summer so they can get back in tune with nature. We work also with high risk youths with juvenile delinquent prevention. We are the only program in Texarkana that has a physically challenging sports program and fight againgt obesity. We are two entities that join together, Jaminsons' Center of Kindness, and T.A.M.E. Drug, alcohol,Tobacco, and Gang Prevention Programs. Jaminson's Center of Kindness is T.A.M.E's Fiscal Conduit Sponsor.
