VALDOSTA, GA – The Chamber Ambassadors held a ribbon cutting in honor of Alzheimer’s Caregiver Time-Out in celebration of their new permanent location.

Alzheimer’s Caregiver Time-Out is an organization that allows the caregivers for Alzheimer or Dementia patients to have a day off from the physical and mental work it takes to care for their clients. “We give the caregivers time to rest and have a life of their own,” Ann Walker-Smith, program director for Alzheimer’s Caregiver Time-Out, said.

Alzheimer’s Caregiver Time-Out is the only respite care service that serves a light breakfast and hot lunch to all their clients and volunteers at the facility. They also keep clients busy and entertained with crafts, games, music, and holiday parties.  According to Walker-Smith they have a “warm and loving atmosphere staffed with sincere caregivers.”

They are always looking for volunteers within the community to participate in daily activities, assist in fund raising, or joining as a board member.

​VALDOSTA, GA - The Chamber Ambassadors held a ribbon cutting ceremony in honor of Veterans First Light.
Co-founders of Veterans First Light, Bryan Roy, a pastor at CrossPointe Church in Valdosta, and Reg McCutcheon recognized the need for veteran advocacy in the community. “We have lived in Lowndes County for 10 years and it only made sense to begin a movement here first and help our community,” said Roy.

Veterans First Light’s mission is to offer support services, advocacy, and empowerment opportunities for Veterans within the community. They offer a variety of support programs such as group therapy, job training, moral injury services, and benefits coaching.

The goal of Veterans First Light is to engage with veterans in the community on multiple levels. They recognize the individual needs that each veteran has and serves as a single point of contact for facilitating interaction and relationships.

Veterans First Light was incorporated as a Georgia Non-Profit on May 20, 2017 and is the only option for services that are specifically tailored for veterans that isn’t considered a government agency.
​
