The Be Rich Campaign is our opportunity to show the community the love of Jesus through financial generosity and serving! In 1 Timothy 6:18 the apostle Paul wrote, “Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” Every dollar given and every hour served supports nonprofits doing incredible work. Your generosity makes a difference in the lives of those they serve. Listed below are the partners we have selected for our 6th annual Be Rich Campaign. You can give to the campaign from September 11 through October 2. Let’s go…

The program offers an environment and resources in which women are given the opportunity and guidance to be a healthy parent for their newborn with the goal to re-introduce a mother and her child into the community with safe housing, support, and continued resources.
