5 year old girl is placed in foster care with family friends. They are in need of a car seat; they have been borrowing the départements at this time. She needs a five-point harness ASAP.

Hello! We need your help. One of our foster families has accepted a short-term placement of a teenage girl into their home. The foster child and the foster child's friend took money from the foster parents' biological sons, which totaled up to $175.00. The money is now gone, and the teenager is unable to have a stream of income at this time to pay them back. We are looking to help replace a portion of these funds for the boys and are asking for two $50 Visa gift cards. Thank you for considering to help with this need!

We are asking for formula for a newborn baby. Mom is in jail for battery against dad and baby, with a court ordered no contact. Baby is a newborn preemie who weighs 8lbs. Baby was born 3/25/2025 to mom with unmanaged mental health and no prenatal care. Dad is protective and working hard to provide for his daughter but needs some help as he just applied for WIC yesterday when the non-judicial caseworker brought him into the office. Dad was raised by his grandparents as a child as his mom had substance abuse issues. Dad has had a rough life and made some poor choices, but he is doing well now and cooperating with the probation requirements, and he really wants to raise his daughter himself. He just needs some help. Here is the link to the baby formula on Amazon: Go To Link

I am submitting a request on behalf of a family in need of assistance with their water bill. Due to unexpected medical issues, the stepfather has lost his job, causing the family to fall behind on bills. They are in urgent need of support to keep their water service active. If the water service is turned off, it could create significant health risks for both the mother and the student, as they have specific medical conditions that require access to water. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

The family is in need of school supplies for the upcoming school year in August, as well as a birthday gift for their son, who will be turning 6. Due to recent financial strain, they are only able to allocate funds toward rent/food at this time for next couple of months. The father recently experienced a change in employment, resulting in the loss of 20 hours overtime each week, which has significantly impacted their budget. If this need is met, they will be able to provide the school supplies for their son and a gift for him without being too far behind on their rent. (School backpack - no wheels).

Newly arrived Special Immigrant Visa holder family of 7 who fled from Afghanistan (US allies) is needing a bunkbed for 4 daughters to settle into a single bedroom in their 2 BR-1BA apartment this week.

Unfortunately, due to limited space in bedroom (needing to fit 2 sets of bunk beds), twin bunk beds will fit better than full bunk beds, so probably not flexible on that aspect of this request.

Depending on the bunk bed frame that you donate, we may or may not need box springs, so I didn't add those explicitly to this request.

Thanks!

We have a youth accepted to Georgia Gwinnett College starting in August. She will definitely need a laptop for school. Although her tuition should be covered by the state through the Independent Living Program (ILP), she will be living on campus and will have to pay her own dorm fees, ($400 per month). She will have a job on campus to try to cover those fees, but is also working now trying to save up for a car. She would greatly appreciate any and all help you could provide to set her up well to succeed at school. Please join us in praying for this youth!

Backpacks & BBQ is an annual outreach event hosted by Middletown Nazarene Church that brings together our church, community, and local partners to support students and families preparing for the school year. We provide free backpacks, serve a full cookout-style meal, and offer a safe, fun, and welcoming environment for children in need in our community.

Each summer, hundreds of neighbors come together at our church for this day of joy and generosity. Children leave ready to start school with confidence and dignity — and families leave knowing they are seen, supported, and loved.

More information about the event can be found here: Go To Link

As part of this event, we want to provide sanitary and hygiene products for the students, so they can go back to school with confidence.

We have a dear NKT family of 6 (mom, grandma, and 4 children) who do not have beds to sleep in nor living room furniture to sit on. We want to bless this family by outfitting their home with these furniture items. We will look for good quality, previously owned items on Facebook Marketplace.

*The twin beds and bedding are for boys, all under 12 years old. *The queen bedding is for grandma/mom. *If box springs are not available, we will purchase mattress/box spring hybrids.

Glocal provides for the physical needs for a new baby to be welcomed through a baby shower. We are currently out of the baby bath sets that include baby shampoo, baby lotion and diaper cream. Many stores sell these as a set or we can use the individual items and gift them to these moms that are usually having their first baby in the US. so far this year, Glocal has given showers or made deliveries to over 40 moms and we have 5 coming up next week. this will support us through the end of the summer.

If you also love baby and women, please reach out and let me know if you would host a shower. We gather the donations but we love for churches to love on these new moms by a small shower. We facilitate it and help with all the details. you provide the food, the friends and the place. thank you!
