The rummage sale that was held May 9th and 10th to raise funds to help families during their process to adopt a child either domestically or internationally was a huge success yet again. We would like to thank everyone who helped us by either donating items or sorting and selling. We are very grateful for all of the support and would like to thank all involved.
This year, the Orphan ministry has begun to get involved in the area of sex trafficking both locally and abroad. Trafficking affects the lives of many vulnerable children, especially young girls. We joined together with Free the Girls and hosted a Bra Drive with the hopes of collecting 500 bras for survivors of trafficking. Free the Girls is a non-profit organization that helps women who have been rescued from human trafficking, many of whom were sold into prostitution when they were only 8-10 years old. Because their lives were stolen from them, they missed out on going to school and getting an education. Selling second-hand bras allows them to respectfully earn an income, rebuild their lives ad support their children.
We are happy to announce that we exceeded our goal of 500 and donated 887 bras to the Duneland Community Church in Chesterton, IN. We would like to give a huge thank you to all who contributed! Thank you, thank you thank you!!!
