Welcome to the Build Something Media Podcast with Chris Moreland! In today's episode, we have a heartwarming and powerful conversation with Christy Chapman, the founder of the Rec Project.
Christy shares the incredible story of how she and her husband turned a personal challenge into a life-changing community project. Initially, they just wanted to create a youth sports center at their old gym location. But what started as a simple idea quickly grew into something much more impactful.
Christy talks about how the Rec Project has become a safe haven for kids and a vital support system for the homeless community. Offering hot meals, a welcoming space, and much-needed assistance, Christy and her team of volunteers are making a real difference in people's lives. Her deep personal connection to the project shines through as she shares stories of helping families in need, from providing food and shelter to connecting them with resources to get back on their feet.
We also dive into the challenges Christy faces, like the struggle to secure funding and the constant need for donations and volunteers. She explains how every bit of help—from financial contributions to donated supplies and volunteer time—goes directly into supporting the community.
In this episode, you'll hear about the Rec Project's journey, the incredible impact it's having, and how you can get involved. Christy's dedication and passion are truly inspiring, and her story is a testament to the power of community and compassion.
