Help 4 Kids
Hunger Hurts
Each week hundreds of children come to school on Monday morning hungry , irritable and not ready to learn because they had no food on the weekend while they were home. Help 4 Kids Florence is a program that supplies food packs to elementary schools in Florence County. Each Friday children at risk of being hungry get sent home with their backback full of food items for the weekend, providing them food for Saturday and Sunday. Our goal is that these children return to school on Monday rested, fed, and ready to learn.
East Florence Mission
People of all ages participate in the various programs but the ministry mainly reaches young people. We believe the only way to help them is to present the Gospel message, pray that they will have a life changing experience with Jesus Christ, meet physical needs when necessary and possible, build trust relationships through real love and concern, counsel them according to Biblical principles and offer them strong educational opportunities.
During the school year we have meetings during the week. Tuesdays at 5pm we offer activites and supper, followed by Bible Study at the Center.
Summer camp runs for 6 weeks from the middle of June. About 75-80 young people of all ages attend. Again, there is Bible Study, plus swimming, remedial work and various activites. We are involved in home visitations, counseling, special out of town trips, overnights at the YMCA, bowling, camping, aid to college students, response to youth with problems, and Bible Studies.
House of Hope
Our purpose is to serve and glorify God through a Christ-centered outreach of love and compassion that responds to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of homeless men, women and their children without regard to their race, color, or social standing.
We hope you’ll join us in our mission to see lives change, over time, right before our eyes! We seek this tangible transformation through structured programs that focus on spiritual growth, education, employment, life management, and recovery from substance abuse.
