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 finishing up it's 30TH SEASON OF GIVING and we once again provided 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.Over the past 30 years we have granted over 40,000 holiday, birthday and everyday wishes.
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 over 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 runs a food pantry and feeds those struggling with food insecurity reached out to us to help provide new sneakers for families who are going through particularly challenging times. Having clean new footwear is important for health and welfare but also for dignity and emotional well being. This is especially true for our school age children.
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!!
