Give A Kid A Chance

GAKAC

Give A Kid A Chance is a program designed to start the school year out on the right foot for children in need in Cherokee County. Close to 40 organizations (churches, businesses, ministries and civic groups) work together to provide backpacks and school supplies for each elementary, middle and high school student who has been preregistered with Give a Kid a Chance. The event will be held in two locations in 2010, with details to come later. Last year we served 2,500 and expect 3,500 to 4,000 in 2010! We've grown so much since our beginning in 2006, when we helped 100 students and their families. The services we offer our guests include vision, hearing, dental and chiropractic screenings, and haircuts. Each family can shop from a collection of like-new clothing, and enjoy a fresh meal. All events and supplies are provided at no charge for the registered students and immediate family.

Orphan Relief & Rescue

ORR

Orphan Relief and Rescue is a small, grassroots organization delivering much-needed aid, construction, and training to the worst orphanages in West Africa. Our approach is based on building sincere relationships with orphanage directors that genuinely care for orphans. Our desire is to redeem a generation of children with no parents or guidance, without discipline or love. Our desire is to see them truly succeed. We have studied the problems and tested the solutions--now help us go the second mile for them. Help us take action, today.

Southeast Louisiana Disaster Recovery

hurricane-katrina-victims

Four years, four storms, four stories….LADRM has an incredible story because of people like you….volunteers have been rebuilding south Louisiana. Not the government, people like you are changing lives, giving hope and showing God’s love to the victims of these devastating storms. South Louisiana has been devastated by powerful hurricanes in the last four years. Four years after hurricanes Katrina and Rita, there are still blue tarps on houses that haven’t been touched by work and lives that are destroyed because they were uninsured or underinsured. One year after hurricanes Gustav and Ike, there are the same instances in South Louisiana. The Louisiana Methodist Disaster Response Ministry funded by UMCOR and other agencies is using Case Management to do what the government hasn’t been able to accomplish. By identifying homeowners that need help we purchase materials with the grant money and have recruited volunteers from around the country as the labor. So far we have used 70,220 volunteers to rebuild New Orleans and South Louisiana due to the storms of 2005 and 2008.
