Cradle to Grave: Providing Basic Needs For Living

Update: Flames of Giving/Providing Basic Needs

By Sarita Scherer Gross | Founder/Executive Director

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 is beginning it's 30TH SEASON OF GIVING and we will once again be 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.

Recently we have been providing items which are basics of everyday living such as new clothing, baby diapers, formula 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. 

Flames of Giving has been supporting children in foster care and struggling families for almost 30 years. We continue to provide urgent and immediate care to families so children do not need to enter the foster care system.  We do this work in partnership with a life saving organization.  Being nimble and with great public generosity, we decided to embrace this collaboration and help.

Recently an organization that provides a one week summer camp to siblings separated in foster care so they can spend time together and build meaningful memories reached out to us. We provided 72 new, cozy, colorful blankets that decorated each bunk as the children arrived providing warm and kindness.  We love our children in foster care and we will be sure to check on how their amazing camping week together went.   

Thank you for your partnership, your generosity and making this world kinder, more compassionate and a better place to live.  We could not do any of this without you!!
