Local Projects

annual christmas service project

Every year we are fortunate enough to be able to help provide Christmas to 300 - 350 families in need in our community. These families had an average of 3-4 children and were comprised of Refugees, unemployed, and single parents, as well as women & children living in Shelters. The parents of each family are provided with; New toys and clothing for their children, new/used clothing for adults, a $50 - $75 gift certificate for groceries, and a turkey for a nice Holiday meal.  Our goal is to serve at least 300 families in need.  We hope that most of the Families we serve will be adopted by Individuals and Families like you.

For the Families who are not adopted, our organization will purchase New toys, clothing, a $50 - 75 gift certificate for groceries, and a turkey for each family. We distribute these gifts to each family. This is why we need donations to accomplish this task. We hope you can help us.

annual mother’s day service project

Every year we are so fortunate to have the opportunity to serve over 300 wonderful Mothers in our community with a special Mother’s Day Celebration. These ladies came from shelters, refugee groups, and several other organizations in the valley that help families in crisis. 

This celebration takes place at a Middle School in down town Salt Lake. These ladies take a seat in a cafeteria where a two-hour musical program ensued while they relaxed and enjoyed lunch. The event is always rounded off with a performance from a Mariachi Band, which had all of us, Hispanics, Americans, Africans, Christians, and Muslims, dancing together in the spirit of friendship. As the dancing died down each woman receives a gift bag filled with makeup, toiletries, and feminine hygiene products. 

Many if not all of these ladies are facing many challenges in their personal lives. Most of them never had the chance to relax and enjoy the company of other women and this event creates a moment of liberation and joy in their times of hardship and will have an impact on their lives for good. During the event, and in the days following, we received phone calls of appreciation from the leaders of the organizations, wishing to express how much this event meant to them. One leader told us that all of the ladies in her group felt that, for the first time, they were treated like equals.
