Flames of Giving is proud and honored that you have chosen to partner with us to help those in our community who struggle everyday with challenges of living with safety, cleanliness, dignity and hope.
Our flagship program has begun its 28th year of granting holiday wishes to those struggling whether they are people with disabilities; the homeless and destitute; the elderly frail and isolated; foster children; teens and adults dealing with mental illness and/or addiction; families struggling with hunger and financial challenges; single moms dealing with domestic violence; teens and young adults from under resourced neighborhoods and people with special needs.
As part of this program we are providing items of basic everyday living such as new warm clothing, baby diapers, items for cooking and bathing and groceries. We have been helping moms who are struggling financially and have no family support. They love their children but are finding it challenging to provide for them financially and are concerned their children will have to be placed in foster care. We are providing for people facing housing insecurity and are living in welfare hotels, shelters and transitional housing programs. We are providing for over 2,300 people this season for a total of over 32,000 people during our 28 year history.
Flames of Giving has been supporting children in foster care and struggling families for 28 years and recently an organization has reached out to us to provide urgent and immediate care to families so children do not need to enter the foster care system. Being nimble and with great public generosity, we decided to embrace this partnership and help. This effort is continuing as are all our efforts to help those most vulnerable.
Thank you for your partnership, your generosity and making this world kinder, more compassionate and a better place to live.
