One of the charities that tugs at my heart the most is St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital – http://www.stjude.org – They do so much for children and their families, not to mention the tons of research they do to combat children’s cancers. Our children are our future, and we have to take good care of them. St. Jude’s certainly does that in many ways.
We don’t have babies or animals on our website, but what we do is look incarcerated men and women in the eye and tell them they are human beings with a heart and soul, that they do not have to be bound by their past and we will walk with them through reconciliation, restoration and peacemaking…we are M2/W2 Restorative Christian Ministries.
The organization I work for is the 30th Judicial District Domestic Violence-Sexual Assault Alliance, Inc. We cover seven counties in westernmost North Carolina, which is mountainous and very rural. We help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault (battered immigrants, seniors and those with disabilities). We also support other agencies in our region with their services. In addition, we provide training to agencies on victim identification, as well as outreach education to the general public. Our website is http://www.30thalliance.org
I support Emmaus Christian School and the values they teach our kids along with the high academic standards they uphold. My two older children have graduated from Emmaus and my son is a 6th grader at Emmaus. The staff and teachers are amazing. I am so blessed to be able to have my children here. Private education comes at a cost so we are always fundraising but it is worth it!
New Hope Christian Counseling fund raises to support a Client Assistance Fund to help individuals and families who are uninsured or underinsured and cannot afford professional mental health and/or educational testing and counseling.
You can find our scholarship on facebook at Coweta County Corrections’ Officers Scholarship. We give scholarships to high school seniors who want to go into the field of criminal justice. My coworkers and I try to give 1000 scholarships to a student at each of the three local high schools. There isn’t a better feeling than seeing the look on the recipient’s face when you call their name. It feels like telling the kids “we believe in you.”
I like New Zealand Red Cross due to the fact that they help out in disasters nationally and internationally, and they also help out in local activities within the local community.
My favorite chairty is the American Cancer Society. Like myself and so many of my friends who have lost a parent to cancer we can not find a cure fast enough.
Caring for Cats is an all volunteer run, no-kill cat shelter. 100% of all donations go directly into caring for cats at the shelter. It’s small, but successful with a 90%adoption rate. Last year it took in over 145 cats and found forever homes for 138 of those animals.
Cats come from:
• foreclosed homes with animals left behind
• seniors who must surrender their animals as they move into care facilities
• people who move and cannot take their companion animals
• people who find strays abandoned in parking lots, fields or in neighborhoods, including many un-spayed females with kittens.
The mission of the LightHouse for the Blind of San Francisco, is to change the lives of blind and low vision people living in northern California by giving them the tools and skills necessary to live independen, active, successful lives and become integral members of their communities.
We are a 501(c)3 non-profit in Southern California whose mission is to raise funds for the construction of a skate park in our community where skaters can practice their sport in a legal and safe location. We live in a hilly area and want to keep kids out of harm’s way and show that we support their sport. Our kids deserve an excellent skate park so they don’t have to ‘sneak’ to skate or get $90 tickets from local police.
Throught the Wixom Community Foundation, a Manufacturing Technology Scholarship Program was created. This program not only provides career opportunities for a routinely overlooked segment of the community’s young adult population, it also provides the industrial/manufacturing sector with trained and educated employees. To learn more, visit http://www.wixomfoundation.org.
I think the idea behind Heifer International is genius. Buying a cow or any livestock might seem strange to people here in the US but could mean the survival & independence of a family. It’s such a simple concept & costs so little. More than any other organization it lives up to the Bible quotation, “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime.” During this holiday season of giving, what could be better?
My Favorite is Trego Hospital Endowment
Morris Animal Foundation’s goal is multi-faceted but always animal centric; utilize science to improve the health, welfare and quality of life for animals, including assisting with the repopulation of endangered species.
