Many of our refugee families live in apartments and sit on the floor when dining and/or relaxing. We have a constant stream of requests for area rugs. Primarily, the families are requesting large carpets for their living room but we also get asked for rugs of all sizes. If you have an area rug, no matter what size or style, we will find a home for it. Currently we have need for at least a dozen rugs.

We are grateful for our community's support through the Care Coffee Initiative.

Thanks to this wonderful effort, we will be able to provide beds for families at Thomas Elementary School who are in need. Your generosity and compassion are making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our local community.

This is a large refugee family who is requesting an assortment of items to make their lives at home more comfortable and easier. They are asking for an air fryer, 4 slip covers for their sofas, a large cooking pot, 2 boxes of drinking glasses, spoons for eating, an Igloo cooler, and a mop with a ringer.

A mother has been struggling with her lack of transportation. She recently articulated that she plans to try and ride her bike to job interviews, but stated that it needs a new tire and possible a new frame. This request is for a new/gently used bicycle with a basket. This mother is short-statured, so a small adult bike frame would suit her best. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration!

We have received many requests lately for bicycles for kids so they can get exercise and play with their friends outside. Also, a couple of the parents have requested bikes for transportation to work or school. We are asking for kids bikes for boys and girls and adult bikes. If you have a bicycle, no matter, what size or style, we will find a home for it.

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:

1. Financial contributions can be made to Wildwood's CarePortal Fund by clicking on this link and selecting the green button that says "Give to our CarePortal Fund." Go To Link
2. You can contribute online at Wildwood's giving page and in the memo line put "Adoptive & Foster Care Ministry": Go To Link

Please reach out to Naomi at ******@email.com with any questions. Thank you for your support of the Adoptive & Foster Care community at Wildwood!

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.
