NLC Foster Serve

05/26/2021

Hey friends, Foster|Serve is not supported by donations so we don't ask for direct funds. However, we have some friends looking to boost their resources.

The The CALL in Lonoke & Prairie Counties has been challenged to get at least 100 separate donations of at least $5. If this is reached, they will receive a bonus of $750 dollars. They are so close and I am thankful that some of you have already donated but if you have not, can you please text Called to 41444. If you have given, get your spouse, kid, momma, daddy, friend to text $5. They need you!

Here is an opportunity that doesn't take a lot of effort to serve the Foster family community.

We asked what could help during this time of quarantine and total home time with your foster & adoptive kiddos. We were told activities and snacks. Here are both, so come and get what you need. If you know of other foster families that could use some of these things, grab some extra. Seriously, I'll eat all these muffins if someone else doesn't grab them. And I'm working on my summer personality right now. Bring the kids & let them do some shopping.

Since it is located at a private residence in Cabot, please send us a direct message for the address.

These items were bought and donated specifically for the Arkansas foster family community. We ask you take advantage if this is you. If you are experiencing a financial or food need outside the context of foster care, we invite you to reach out to your local newlifechurch.tv campus or the Arkansas Food Bank.

Hey friends. Just a reminder, our foster closet is for foster/adoptive families only. Please, if you’re not an open foster home and have placements that are in need, allow those that are to make use of the donations. Our generous donors give with a heart of sharing the Love of Christ & encouragement for this ministry specifically.
Please DO NOT take items you do not need! And PLEASE DO NOT take items and sell them! If you have a need, and are NOT a foster/adoptive family, please feel free to reach out to Dream Center and allow the proper ministry to be utilized. Thanks 😊
