Transition Basics

🎵🌅Every skybox ticket, every donation, every shared moment at any of the Coves at SML Neighbors-in-Need concerts helps strengthen the community we call home.

Transition Basics , Stepping Stone Mission of Franklin County, Inc. , SML Good Neighbors, Inc. and Bernard Healthcare Center are all honored to partner with Coves at Smith Mountain Lake VA . Each of these charities provide essential services, support families, and make a lasting impact throughout our region. We encourage everyone to check out our stories, learn about our missions, and discover how you can help. Follow us on Facebook or check out the "Charity Partner" page on the Coves website.

🎵 Music brings us together. Compassion makes us stronger.

The country is beautiful and being back off the highway keeps the busyness of town at bay but when you can’t afford a car it’s hard to get a job because walking 25 miles to town is out of the question for a job every day…

This couple has been to hell and back (in a manner of speaking) Right now they are doing well but they both need jobs.

Is there anyone hiring that could use a mechanic in the union hall/penhook area?

If so please message me your information and I’ll have him call you! Thanks!!

🎶 At The Coves Amphitheatre, great music is only part of the story. Through their Neighbors in Need program, they also support some of the local organizations and individuals making a difference in our community with every skybox that is purchased.

When you attend a show, you're helping amplify more than music—you’re helping neighbors support neighbors. Enjoy great music and a beautiful view at a one-of-a-kind venue and take a moment to learn about this year’s beneficiaries and the incredible work they do every day.

Listening to a message on my phone from a little lady that I have took food to several years….

She always gives me her full name, address, phone number, and just me here, one. Calling because tomorrow is my food day….

This evening she said …also I just wanted to know how you are doing because you are always out there helping everybody and I know you have to be tired….

I love my people…..

I had a lady reach out to me needing a heavy duty extra large wheelchair if you have one please reach out! Thanks in advance!

Our cup runneth over..surely GOODNESS and mercy will follow us all the days of our life….
.today I want to thank Wild Hare Farm for the bounty of blessings of sharing

Sometimes it’s a long road , but God….
Homeless, poor, broken homes because turning to drugs seems easier, mental health issues…How would you respond?
Most of these people just need someone to listen to their story and guide them in doing differently not telling them they are useless…
People say how can I help?What can I do?
Pray- buy a gas card-donate
Message me if you are interested in helping.

Cool…. I Like it…😂

One left…hurry and grab it before it’s gone…skybox

We have ONE SKYBOX LEFT for Eli Young Band this Saturday. Skyboxes come with six tickets, are temperature controlled, have a private party deck, and have access to upgraded bathroom facilities. And the best part is that 100% of the proceeds go to our charity partners. Head over to covesatsml.com/private-skyboxes to grab the last one before this Saturday!

‼️‼️UPDATE ‼️‼️the total bill has been paid and this young lady wants to let everyone know how humbling it is to get this kind of help when you’re in desperate need! She wants to thank everyone that had a part in helping with this and she plans to pay it forward as soon as she can!

Again, thank you thank you to everyone! Kind hearts and willing hands is what makes the world go around. Let’s keep it going with some positivity! God bless everyone of you!

!!!Update!!!
We now have the bill down to $1,289.35….

Please help us keep her electricity on…it goes off tonight if it’s not paid!….

As Christians, we are called to reflect the love and compassion of Christ in our interactions with others, especially those who are suffering or in pain. The Bible is full of verses that remind us to show kindness, offer comfort, and extend support to those who are in need. Helping others in their time of need not only reflects God’s love but also allows us to grow spiritually as we live out our faith in practical ways.

When you think of someone that needs help you think of someone without a home or without a job.

The problem is…. that is true about 65% of the time. The other 45% is what I call working class people…the ones that work 40 hours a week and then work 20 more…at minimum wage. There is no overtime because this is 2 jobs…8 hours at one and then on to another….life is hard and when you are a single mom trying to raise children it is that much harder…

Teachers, nurses, and what people classify as middle class are struggling to pay their bills…

Catina and I are working together to try to help this one as her cut off date is tonight … this young lady has tried her best to do it on her own and she has worked diligently with Aep with payment plans, etc. but they are not working with her anymore.

In order to keep her electricity turned on we need $1,839.35. If you can help, please contact me or Catina and we will send you the information to call in a payment.
