Mission

1. Think of a practical way you can help in your own county. (Here are a few ideas to get you started)
• Start a Christmas food, clothing, and toy drive for your local Children's Services program
• Create hygiene gift bags to be distributed throughout the year (toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, makeup, feminine products, etc)
• Collect new and like new duffle bags for foster children so that they might have something all their own to transport clothing in. (A trash bag should never contain your entire life)
• Create a weekly program at your church aimed at teens who will soon age out of the foster system. From there create relationships that will last a life time.
• Collect new or gently used baby items and clothing for children who will enter their foster homes without much. (you can do this by hosting a "baby shower" of sorts at your church)
• Compile a list of foster families in your community as well as a list of families in your church who would be willing to provide alternate or respite care, then match up families and watch relationships blossom
2. Get me your ideas along with any posters or flyers detailing your ministry. Not good at creating online graphics? No problem.... send me the info regarding your ministry i.e. what you are doing, what state, what county, and contact info and I'll create a poster or flyer for you to feature on the site.
3. Share the heck out of this blog and your individual states link so that those in your area will be able to connect with one another and reach these children in a way they have never been reached before. (p.s. sharing could mean stepping out of your comfort zone and speaking in front of your church or every church in your community)
