Recently Filled Needs

Help us give a local child a warm winter!

We are urgently seeking Old Navy Gift Card donations for a young boy whose family cannot afford essential coats, hats, and boots for him. We've helped somewhat with housing, now we need to cover some essentials.

Every dollar goes directly to keeping this child safe and warm.

Gift Cards from Old Navy, or donations so we can go purchase these cards and get them to the family, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your kindness!

Family In Need of Propane Fill for Heat

We have a family who is in need of financial support, for a need for propane as they are without heat. The fill for this heating need would be $500. The family appreciates any support you can provide.

With much gratitude for your kindness and generosity!

Rent Assistance

An Anthony Wayne single mother is seeking help with rent this month. Due to the recent government shutdown, her benefits were unexpectedly reduced, throwing her family’s budget off course and making it impossible to cover essential expenses.

Any support you can offer during this difficult time would make a meaningful difference for this family. Thank you for considering a contribution to help them stay stable and secure.
