LEEDS OUTREACH

 In 2020 we provided assistance for over 4900 people in the Leeds area. Since we have no paid staff, rent, or other bills, 100% of your donation goes directly to assisting hurting people throughout the community. We believe it is very important to partner and work alongside the local churches and businesses to help meet these needs.

DONATE TIME

Enrollment for sponsors and children began Fall of 2021. Approximately 180 children applied and were matched with sponsors. In 2020 sponsors were found for 143 children between the ages of 2-14  and gift cards were provided for 31 children who were not in this age category. Gifts were also given to 29 extra children that didn’t make it by our deadline. Remaining toys were given to grandparents, for distributing to their grands.  Our Board of Directors recently approved our request to increase our age of children served to 18 years old. 

  This video is a glimpse of some of the things that go into our Drive Thru Pickup. There are more steps including client registration, verification and GUIDELINES. We obtain food from Central Alabama Food Bank, neighborhood, churches, local business  and individual food donations, bread donations from Publix, produce and meat donations from Walmart. We distribute approximately 60 food boxes weekly.  None of this is possible without the ongoing support of our sponsors and support from you.
