An aunt is caring for her niece (5) an nephews (12 and 10). The 10-year-old boy loves sports and asks his caseworker for a Wilson basketball at every single home visit. He is such a sweet boy and really wants one that has the "Wilson" logo like he sees when he watches NBA games on TV. A Wilson basketball or a Walmart gift card for his aunt to purchase him one would truly make this guy's day! Thank you for your generosity!

We have a single mom of two children that is preparing to be reunified with her children. She has worked tirelessly to obtain stable housing for her children. She needs twin beds and bedding to create a cozy home environment for her children. There is one boy and one girl.

Mom had to have some car work done, and completed in order for her to have viable transportation to remain in compliance with her treatment plan, seeing her child on a consistent basis, and continuing to work. Unfortunately her hours have been cut so she isn't making as much and is asking for assistance paying for the car repairs that were needed in order for her to continue to have reliable transportation.

A kinship provider is caring for three children. The kin provider is working towards becoming a certified caregiver and needs help paying for their CPR/First Aid class and is requesting a gift card for the amount of $45 to pay for the class.

Hello, A family is in need of support for food and basic needs. This family lost more than half of their income and are being impacted by the loss of multiple family members. They are in crucial need of support. A mother supports her two children and her two adults sons are assisting in paying for the bills. They are in need of a $200 gift card to Walmart to assist with groceries and basic necessities.

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.
