GIVE
Partner with us in our mission to serve families, vulnerable children, and orphans.
"Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you." (Luke 6:38)
We’re especially grateful to supporters who give to benefit where it’s needed most, and we also appreciate those who choose to designate their gifts to specific areas.
