MPPFC to host Touch A Truck event

It takes a village to raise a child.

Join us as we help shape future generations.

Incredible brain development occurs during the first five years of life, and early childhood experiences literally build the foundation for future learning. This year, the Partnership is beginning a new tradition in our dedication to providing all types of exciting experiences to the children and families in our community.

Our inaugural Touch A Truck event will be held Saturday, October 8, 2016, and the proceeds will be used to help MPPfC continue to reach our goal of giving the children in our community all they need for success.

Touch A Truck gives the children in our community the opportunity to get up close and personal with the giant trucks, cars, boats, and rigs they love, while teaching them how these machines and operators make daily life possible.

Our goal is to offer our children the opportunity to climb, touch, and ask questions, and to instill in them that sense of wonder and appreciation for community that lasts into adulthood. We want to celebrate the machines and people who work hard in our community — but we need your help.

We need community businesses and organizations to step up as sponsors; we need businesses with big rigs, boats, trucks, cars, and anything else exciting to join us as exhibitors; and we need volunteers to help tie everything together and ensure a fun, safe, and educational time is had by all.

You can find all of our forms below. Please share them with your friends, family, neighbors, church, and more so that we can make this event a success.

For more information or to register as a volunteer, please contact Community Outreach Director Amanda Parmelee at 252.758.8885 or via email ataparmelee@mppfc.org.

The Martin-Pitt Partnership for Children funds programs in early literacy, quality early child care and learning, assistance finding child care services, parent and family support, and health care during the first 2,000 days of a child’s life — the time from birth until they arrive for their first day of Kindergarten.

Ninety percent of a child’s brain growth occurs in that time period — we have 2,000 days to get it right.
