Summer Explosion Camp
Lovejoy Community Services has been hosting its Summer Explosion for quite some time now. They saw a need to provide outreach services for youth in the community, based on community research data. Scholarships were provided for all students to attend the program. There has been a significant increase in the number of students attending the program each day since Summer Explosion began. Youth are able to attend the program immediately following the end of the school year. Since 2004, some 30,000 daily visits were made by youth to receive breakfast, lunch, and consistent learning, mentoring, and family support.

BackPack Buddies
Lovejoy Community Services, Inc. collaborates with the Backpack Buddies program. Backpack Buddies are grocery bags filled with enough food to get 
children through the weekend. During the school year, the bags are packed by volunteers at the pantry with two breakfasts, two lunches, two snacks, and two fruits and then taken to schools and discreetly placed in children’s backpacks to take home. Our partner school, Anna K. Davie Elementary School, currently has over 84 students participating.
Adoption of Anna K. Davie Elementary School
Lovejoy Community Services, Inc. is uniquely poised to step into the gap for youth and the community. Together, we can create a positive solution by walking the path together and making the kind of difference that transforms a community.
Reverend J.L. Vaughn Tracking/Scholarship Program
In order to encourage Lovejoy Baptist Church youth to pursue higher learning beyond high school, the Reverend J. L. Vaughn Tracking/Scholarship Ministry seeks to help our youth and their parents/guardians keep abreast of the required school curriculum, tests, and other criteria for admission to various colleges, technical schools, etc. Further, we engage Lovejoy members and community partners in helping to provide scholarship funding through their donations for our young men and women as they matriculate at their various institutions of higher learning. Most importantly, we encourage our students to excel in their studies, to expand their vision, including giving back to their communities, and to work hard to reach their full potential.
