ORGANIZATIONS
WE SUPPORT
We support organizations that work for the restoration of people.
UNITED STATES
MADE 4 CONNECTION
Made 4 Connection is a new organization whose mission it is to build and strengthen relationships between people. M4C was started by a dear friend Barbara Stewart, who is a TBRI® (Trust-Based Relational Intervention) Practitioner. TBRI® was designed to help parents build connections with their kids, by utilizing a trauma care model. It helps them understand the impact of trauma, connect with the child emotionally and disarm fear-based behaviors. Her vision is to see parents and children connect on deeper levels and to engage traumatic situations from a loving and caring heart.
HARAMBEE MINISTRIES
“Let’s get together and push,” is the meaning and motto of Harambee. Their mission is to encourage, support, and empower youth and their families through the power of education, leadership and discipleship. They aim to provide safer neighborhoods and opportunities for children to grow and thrive through after school performing arts program and tutoring. Their annual Christmas program draws a crowd because of its energetic and innovative style. Our family thoroughly enjoys the show and is excited to partner with this local Pasadena organization.
LOS ANGELES MISSION
Los Angeles Mission breaks the cycle of homelessness and poverty, by stabilizing people in a safe and spiritual environment, connecting them to solutions and walking with them on their journey. We are grateful for our partnership with an organization that is making such a difference on the streets of Los Angeles. As the problem of homelessness in LA grows, we continue to partner with the LA Mission to serve those who are broken and have little in the city we live in.
REACH OUT COLORADO
Reach Out Colorado (ROC), was founded in 2012 to meet the needs of people in the towns of Rifle and Parachute, Colorado. In 2019, Judy Brantingham's brother Thomas Jones, started to work with ROC. They do this in two main ways, the first being the Totes of Hope program and the second being their Emergency Assistance program. It provides assistance to families experiencing food insecurity. During this school year, they were able to provide about 250 bags of non-perishable items, which were distributed through school counsellors at the three elementary schools, one middle school and two Headstart pre-school programs. The second program is Emergency Assistance for those who have hit a "bump in the road." This may include help with a rent payment, utility bills, a tank of gas, grocery card, bus ticket, etc. ​
