Begun in 2021, Greene Early College Cougar Care Club prepared Thanksgiving food baskets for three deserving families in Greene County. Again this year, the club’s 30 members decided to undertake the same act of kindness during this special season. Thus, three families served by another school in the county and selected by the social worker and counselor received Thanksgiving baskets. Each basket included a turkey or ham, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, yams, string beans, dinner rolls, frozen pie, plates, plastic utensils, napkins, lemonade, and water. All items were donated by the club members.

Completely student driven, the club continually seeks opportunities to serve where there is often a void that has not been fulfilled by another agency.  

The club was formed during the Pandemic in the spring of 2021 to pack Easter baskets for residents of the local nursing home who could not have visitors. Since its inception, the club very willingly participates in other volunteer projects in the school and throughout the county. Biology teacher, Ms. Shontia Blount, is the club adviser.
