A mother lives with her children (1 year, 13 years, and 14 years). There has been threats to cause harm to the home and to the mother of the children. This last threat was made when only the children were in the home. The threat was to shoot up the home. The mother is requesting an outdoor light and a camera for her home so she can try and protect her home and children more.

A teen was recently placed back home with his mother. The department is wanting to ensure that the teen and mom are supported. They are needing some help and a gift card to King Soopers. They are currently looking for their own place, as they are living in the basement of Mother's ex-boyfriends parent home.

Kinship foster parent took in three custody children. She has not recieved any payments yet. The home is in need of three dresser drawers for the children to store their clothing.

A family of 6 is currently in emergent need of housing. The family is comprised of two grandparents caring for their four granddaughters; one of which is only a few weeks old. This family has recently been evicted from their home and have been staying in a motel while searching for housing, however, they will no longer have the funds to continue their stay past 6/17. With no housing the children are at risk of coming into foster care as they need a safe environment to reside. This risk could be resolved with the extension of the motel while the Department assists the family in finding housing.

This family has recently immigrated to the United States from Zambia where they were war refugees. They are in need of baby girl clothing size 6-9 months or larger. They are also in need of employment and have been applying to agencies and using the WorkForce Alliance to try and secure employment but with no luck. If there's someone in the community who speaks Swahili and could help make connections with them to get them employment that would be extremely helpful. They also don't have reliable transportation so if there's anyone in the community who can help transport them to doctor's appointments and etc. that speaks Swahili that would be helpful.

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.

A single mom going through a divorce is trying to become financially independent. She currently makes very little income, and needs assistance to help pay for gas so she can drive her children to school and different activities while she looks for work.
