Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be
part of a Physically, Socially and Spiritually strong community?
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the Maries RII School District Community (Maries, Osage and Gasconade County ) came together in support of one another?
Our schools would be strengthened, our churches would be strengthened as well as businesses and civic organizations. Our young people and our elderly would benefit. Our working people would be reinforced.
Called Anointed Sent has been working here locally for ten years towards this goal. The truth is that it will take us all from every level; schools, city government, state government, civic groups, churches, right down to each individual supplying in this community. It will take cooperation. That means we will need You and your talents, your skills and your participation to join together with your neighbors and friends and work to make this community a better and more productive place. This is the only way that WE will achieve and making this a reality.
CAS has been building partnerships to bring supplies and funding into this community. Linking together people with the education to Oversee Programs and to mentor those wanting to learn and serve. It will truly take a community. Lets Roll up our sleeves and go to work.
Through the years as we have had volunteers from the International Shoe Factory retirees come in they have worked like the house was on fire. Truly reflecting the integrity of what it took to hold this community strong for many years. We are seeking to continue with that strength to build a community with fine homes and School programs equipping our young people for the future.
President and Founder of Called Anointed Sent Sharon Loraine Matthes and Executive Board Partnered with:
Storehouse Food Pantry and Central Missouri Food Bank for over five years to provide 1.5 million pounds of food (with a wholesale value of 2.5 million dollars) and household items to 700-1000 people each month;
Businesses, individual donors and churches who donated cash and "in-kind" donations (goods and services donated in lieu of a financial contribution);
Over 200 volunteers working together yearly to provide necessary services within our community;
Meramac Regional Planning and the Belle City Council completed the Neighborhood Assistance Program Application to secure $350,000 Missouri Tax Credits worth $500,000 to CAS (Missouri Tax credits in effect allow a business to have a voice in directing how their taxes are used within the community);
Belle Ministerial Alliance, local churches, the Apppalachian Mission Projects, Mexico Mission and other overseas missions, etc. to provide food, clothing, shoes and other necessary items to missions projects all over the world;
Twelve community leaders, providing directors to oversee accomplishments of the proposed new facility.
CAS programs have not cost the tax payer anything.
It is our hope that we will be able to provide a common place to find community events and information that will cause us to join together to be a more effective community.
