2018 Year in Review

 

A huge thank you goes out to all of you for blessing us this past year with your time, monetary donations, clothing, food, your talents and most importantly your prayers.  As in past years, 2018 graced us with opening of doors that enabled us to bless so many more individuals.  Through those opened doors we were able to serve in so many ways:

It is difficult to even begin to thank all of the individuals, organizations, churches and businesses that have been a part of our mission this past year.  We look forward to what God is going to do in 2019 and hope that you continue to be a part of this great mission.

 

With sincere gratitude,
