2012 PROJECT PREVIEW: L.V.P. - Love & Vital Protection
In
collaboration with Good360, we will serve the needs of Cape Cod children
and their families who have been stricken by the economic downturn.
This program is designed to provide necessities, such as clothing, food
and health/beauty products which will be made available through hosted
events at various churches in the Cape community. This important
assistance program is slated for 2012.
2011 WINTER: Comfort Zone Camp & Semper Fi Fund Kids Camp and Mentor Program
Funding from our 9th Annual Memorial: In Silent Memory and Reflection campaign, went to two very important non-profit camps for kids who are faced with
unique situations. Comfort Zone Camp is a bereavement camp that transforms the
lives of children who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or
primary caregiver. It includes confidence building programs and age-based
support groups that break the emotional isolation grief often brings. The
Semper Fi Fund Kids Camp and Mentor Program brings hope to the children of
injured service members through unique activities and challenges. The stress
experienced by the child of an injured service member is sometimes overlooked.
The child must handle challenges and adversities that someone their age should
not have to face alone. The bonding of youth with a mentor serves as the
focal point for follow-up support during the school year. Both programs are free to eligible campers
and our donation of $2,500.00 to each camp assists with attendance costs.
2011 LATE SPRING: PLAYSPACE for Cape Cod Homeless Children
On May 12, 2011, through the Horizons for Homeless Children
Playspace program, we funded a recreational and educational space
at the Angel House homeless shelter in Hyannis [Cape Cod] to serve the
needs of preschool-aged homeless children. This is a project that is simple, yet the need
is vital and together we have made a big difference in their lives. Horizons for Homeless
Children is the
leader in Massachusetts and the nation in providing care for young children
whose lives have been shattered by homelessness. Playspaces come
equipped with libraries, building blocks, art supplies and more. They are
staffed by trained volunteers known as Playspace Activity Leaders [PALs] that
supervise and engage the children in fun, educational play...an
overlooked need for children who have been innocently affected by
their family’s economic circumstances.
