profit helping kids despite uncertainty
When a fire ravaged 's home in Marion in 2009,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she lost everything. Facing few options,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kramer turned to Project Care, the organization which became her anchor,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], her ray of hope.
"When my house burned to the ground in 2009,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I lost everything. They helped me with everything to get me back on my feet," said Kramer, a single parent who is disabled and blind in one eye.
She remains a firm believer in Project Care because of what it has done for her and her son, Jonathon, while he was in school.
"If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to give my son Christmas gifts or Thanksgiving dinner," she added.
Project Care helps low-income families that reside within the Marion School District. And despite facing an uncertain future,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the non-profit organization continues to provide assistance to school children and their families as the school year gets under way.
The organization and its store - which sells used clothing, shoes, toys, glass ware, kitchen ware and other items - are housed in portables near . The district wants to remove the portables and is looking at options for relocating Project Care, possibly to another district building.
Despite the uncertainty,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Project Care co-founder said the organization and its volunteers are still focused on helping school children and their families.
"We are going to still continue the best we can," said Purvis who, along with co-founder Beth Woodward,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], started Project Care 14 years ago.
Purvis said Project Care provided back-to-school supplies, shoes and back packs for 261 school children in all grades,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], from elementary to high school. Proceeds from the organization's rummage sales,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], held the first Saturday of each month, are used to cover the costs for the back-to-school supplies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], shoes and backpacks.
Working with other local organizations and churches, Project Care also provides holiday food baskets for families during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Last year, between 70 and 80 families received Thanksgiving meal baskets.
Project Care also helps with Christmas toy drives, making Christmas special for 330 children who otherwise would not have had a gift under the tree.
,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Project Care volunteer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said the organization was there for her when, as a widow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she took in her grandson, who was in elementary school at the time. She said Project Care provided clothes and toys for her grandson.
"They have made kids feel better about themselves," McDonald said. "It helps so many people in so many different (ways). I think it's the greatest humanitarian effort this town has ever seen."
, who was shopping for items at a recent rummage sale, said he hopes Project Care will still be around next year. "I like to encourage them to keep this thing going because they are doing a good thing."
said Project Care's once-a-month rummage sales allow her to buy quality clothes at affordable prices for her three children.
"If you can find clothes that are of good quality and good prices, it saves you money," she said. "They always help you when you need something in particular, like jeans.
"It really does help a lot of families,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Garcia added. "It would be a shame if they were to close."
If the district were not to provide Project Care with a permanent home, Purvis said the non-profit could still operate but on a limited basis,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], possibly from local churches.
Without a permanent location, Purvis said Project Care would not be able to hold its rummage sales, provide immediate assistance to families or provide holiday food basket.相关的主题文章:
