Give of yourself: Children
More than 1 billion children worldwide suffer from hunger, from poverty, from neglect. We're fighting to change that.
We think a child should not die before having a chance to grow up. That orphans and vulnerable children should be protected. That a mosquito bite shouldn't be a death sentence. That kids shouldn't go to bed hungry and they shouldn't wake up scared. We take responsibility for meeting the needs of children.
That's why we help provide children with food, clothing, shelter and medical care. That's why so many of our churches have reading tutors, day care and after-school programs. That's why we run camps in every state in the U.S. That's why so many of our churches show children whose parents are in prison or in recovery that they are loved. That's why so many of our churches embrace families of children with special needs.
Working together, teams of compassionate people are helping shape positive futures. And there's always room for more hands.
