Three children in this family are currently sharing one bed. They are in need of an additional bed to help create a more comfortable and restful sleep environment. Providing a bed would support their physical and emotional well-being by giving them space to rest properly, which is essential for healthy development, focus in school, and overall stability. We are grateful for our community and the care and coffee initiative. This is for a 13 year old girl, 11 and 7 year old.

This family is in need of a working refrigerator/freezer combination. Mother works full time, but does not drive, and has not been able to learn how to use public transportation. Mother walks to and from work, and will pick up items at the store on her way home. There are three children in the home under the age of five, and mother needs to be able to store food in the refrigerator and freezer to feed her children. Mother is limited on what food items she buys because of not having a working refrigerator or she will try to use everything she purchases, that same day. Unfortunately the family is unable to pay for this purchase, as they are working on repairing their hot water heater. By assisting this family, they would be able to plan mealtimes for the children more cost effectively.

The dimensions for the refrigerator/freezer: 65 inches tall, 28 inches wide, 35 inches deep

This family is in need of a vacuum cleaner. Unfortunately, the family does not have a working vacuum. The children in the home consists of a five and two year old, as well as a nine month old. The five and two year old make a lot of messes in the home, and the nine month old is then crawling around on the dirty floor. The family has been borrowing a vacuum from a family member, when they are able to drop it off to the family because mother does not drive. The family is currently putting their financial resources towards getting their hot water heater fixed. By obtaining a vacuum, the nine month old would then have a safe space to crawl around on and would help the family with keeping the home tidy.

I'm reaching out on behalf of one of the young mothers in our program who is currently in need of a crib for her 7 month old daughter. This young mom is a high school student who is working hard to care for her baby while continuing her education. Like many in her situation, she is financially limited and is need of extra support. A crib would provide her daughter with a safe and secure place to sleep and bring peace of mind to a young mom doing her very best. This gift will make a meaningful difference in their lives.

We are grateful for our community and the Care and Coffee Initiative!

Single father of two children who is in need of two twin beds/mattresses and a refrigerator. Father recently ended a relationship with someone and that person took these belongings when they left and now father does not have these items that are needed for the children. Father has had to "start over" and is just struggling financially to be able to meet these needs of these children.

A family with two children recently took in two dogs from their sister. The dogs almost had their sister evicted from her apartment, and now they are faced a similar dilemma. If they don't find a home for the dogs, they could be evicted. The family is looking for a home for the two dogs. They searched rescue sites and no kill shelters but hasn't received any help or support. Please help support this family by either taking in the dogs or by spreading the word.

Hello! Church, we have an opportunity to come alongside a single mom who is a member at Wildwood & help support her as she cares for the older bio siblings (brothers ages 9 & 12) of her adopted son. The brothers are still in foster care and need care for a period of 10 days in July. To say yes, the single mom needs childcare for the boys while she is at work. There are openings at a local day camp for both boys. The cost for 7 days of camp for both boys is $700. Please keep this family in your prayers - pray specifically for the time the three brothers will have together. If you feel led, please consider giving financially so that we can help support this family, allowing all three siblings to have 10 days together this summer. There are two ways to give financially:

One of our very own families, who faithfully serves every weekend, is currently facing a difficult season. They are in need of support with rent and groceries this month to get back on track and not fall behind.

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to serve two families in our community. While our assistance was very much appreciated, it does not alleviate the on-going need for these families. Both families have young children who are home during the summer months. To ensure that they have access to hot meals during the summer while they are out of school, Heartland is initiating a request to provide food gift cards to each family throughout the duration of the summer.

A father at Point Church has recently regained custody of his three children and could use some clothing items for them. He is in need of a few shirts, a few pairs of shorts, a pair of pajamas, a few pairs of socks and underwear, and a pair of shoes for his 5-year-old daughter (clothing size 5-6, shoe size 11-13), 7-year-old daughter (clothing size 8-10, underwear size 10-12, shoe size 12-13), and 10-year-old son (clothing size 14, shoe size 5). Secondhand clothing in good condition is fine. It would be a blessing for them to have these items by July 11.
