Agape could use your support to grow our capacity to help more women & children. You can help our community by engaging with us in these ways:
Financial support
Thanks for your help and prayers over the last 10 years!
Your continued support (or gift) will have a real and immediate impact in the lives of our women and children. A one-time gift or a recurring monthly gift will help our continuing efforts to meet our families’ Program and support needs. Any amount is very helpful: $25-$75/month helps with recurring family expenses and gas cards to keep families moving; $100-$200 helps with utilities; $500 helps with housing and mortgages.
We need a continued stream of income to keep homes running smoothly, kids clothed, cars maintained, and school expenses paid, so our ladies and moms can stay focused on a path of rebuilding their lives.
Please consider helping with our Program Funding, or our Remodel Project.
When you make a donation, you will be able to select where you’d like your donation to be used. Upon donation checkout, you will see a section titled “Use my donation to support”. Using the dropdown list, you may select, “Where it is needed most”, “Program Funding” or “Remodel Project”.
Thank you!
You’ve walked this journey with us for 10 years! Thank you for your prayers and help! Agape has provided “Home, Help, Hope” for over 260 women and children who have been able to live into God’s plan for them. With your continued prayers and support, here’s to 10 more years!
