Support Needed for Our Student Self-Sufficiency Home

We are preparing to expand our Student Self-Sufficiency Home, a safe and supportive space for homeless and unaccompanied youth in Clay County who are 18 years old and working hard to finish high school. This home will provide stability, dignity, and the foundation they need to succeed—and we need your help to make it possible.

As we expand to serve more students, we are seeking donations of household items to furnish and equip the space. Currently, we are in need of:

2 refrigerators, 3 desks and 3 desk chairs, 1 Full Sized bed, 1 side table, and 1 dresser, 2 mattresses, 1 television, 6 pillows, 3 full-sized sheet sets and 3 comforters, 3 sets of towels and washcloths, 3 Set of Mattress Protectors, Household essentials such as laundry detergent, soap, paper products, and cleaning supplies

We kindly ask that all furniture be new or gently used, and linens and personal items (such as comforters, towels, and pillows) be new for hygiene and safety purposes.

If you’d like to support but do not have items to donate, gift cards to stores like Walmart, Target, or Amazon are also incredibly helpful and appreciated.

With your help, we can provide a safe and welcoming home for students who are determined to overcome challenges and finish their education. Thank you for being part of the solution!

The University of Florida will be donating these furniture items to CarePortal and I will be taking them to Mercy Support Services’ home for homeless children finishing high school. If any Church would like to take the lead on this request remember you were not obligated to meet any outstanding items just manage the ones that are funded or provided already. I will be taking the furniture items as mentioned, but you will get credit for it and the few items right now that are funded those dollars will go directly to your CarePortal card so you can purchase on behalf of these children. Any additional funding will also go to your CarePortal card. Please reach out to me if you have any questions thank you!

Help Reunify a Bio Family

Hello, assistance is needed for a biological mother seeking reunification with her 10-year-old daughter, who is in foster care. To support reunification and create a suitable living environment, a dumpster is needed to organize her recently relocated apartment. Her belongings were previously in storage, and the smaller size of her new unit has prevented her from fully organizing and settling in. This is essential to ensure her home is prepared for her daughter's return and supports a smooth transition into reunification, which is the primary goal of child welfare services for children in foster care. Support is sought in securing a dumpster rental for this purpose.

Help Improve a Child's Safety/Wellbeing

A previous mom we helped some time ago has stated the bed we gave is now worn. A photo was provided to show that. She would appreciate a twin bed for her son (mattress and box springs and rails, or platform frame) and a comforter. This will help her son to get the sleep he needs to be healthy and feel secure.

PLEASE NOTE: RISE CHURCH CAN MEET THIS NEED WITH A BED WE ALREADY HAVE IN OUR INVENTORY. NO FURTHER DONATIONS ARE NEEDED.
