Thank You for Supporting TASK!

We are very fortunate to have the continuing support of many people, agencies, and corporations.  The TASK Summer Enrichment Program would not be possible without the support of the Tazewell County Board and Dr. Brenda Lawson.  We also benefit from the continued support of the Speedway Children's Charities United Way of the Virginias, Bluefield Quota Club, CNX Gas, Clearview United Methodist Women, Tazewell Rotary Club and donations from local businesses, including Grant's Supermarket.

We have fundraising projects throughout the year, including Ckickfila Spirit Nights, raffles, and Pancake Breakfasts at Applebee's.  Please check our FaceBook page for notification of these and other events:    

The Second Chance Rocks the Two Virginias ticket sales helped us meet our fundraising goal last year and we are selling tickets again for the June 29th, 2012 concert.  Please call our office if you are interested in purchasing tickets (276) 979-0408.

We value our longstanding relationship with the Tazewell County Board of Supervisors.  They provide us with office space in the Sheriff's Dept. Building, and financial support over the past 25 years.

We are thankful for our partnerships with all of the agencies that serve children and families in Tazewell County, including the Dept. of Social Services, Cumberland Mt. Community Services, Clinch Independent Living Services, Court Service Unit, Health Dept. CVCA, Tazewell Public Library, Care Connection for Children and the Tazewell Recreation Dept.

 

Office Move – New Sheriff’s Department Building

As most of you know, in March, the Board of Supervisors agreed to let us move into the old Social Services Building at 315 School St. in Tazewell.  In the summer, the Sheriff’s Dept. and 911 moved in and asked us to move to a different location in the building.  This gave us more space and our own entrance.  Sheriff Caudill and Chief Hieatt made the move very easy.  We now have more room for meetings, our resource collection, and storage.  Please visit and see our new space and browse our collection of materials.

Handicapped access is through the front entrance of the Sheriff’s Dept, until we get a ramp built to our new entrance in the back.  The best way to enter our office is to park in the lot behind the public library. The TASK office is the white mobile unit attached to the back of the Sheriff’s Dept. Building.  If you have difficulty finding us, please call 276-979-0408
