Make a difference this school year
Help underprivileged and forgotten kids get ready for class
Kids living in motels?
Many volunteers remark when they serve at a MotelChurch location, how surprised they are by the number of families and children they encounter. It’s true, these dark and dingy motel rooms are home to families with multiple kids and even many generations. Grandma, Mom, and the grandkids all live together in a single room.
Making a difference
These children rarely have enough food to eat let alone the necessary supplies to continue their education. We want to provide school supplies to our kids, so they are prepared to learn and so they can be students, not outcasts. Your generous support shows these kids that their education matters and that there are people around who love and care about them.
6 Ways to Help Motel Kids
We have a variety of ways to make a difference in the lives of kids in need:
- Donate new school supplies
- Send a gift card
- Donate online
- Volunteer to prep backpacks
- Volunteer to shop for supplies
- Help distribute backpacks
Volunteers Needed
If you’re looking for additional opportunities to help, we have a few different ways you can lend a hand. First, we need volunteers to purchase school supplies with the gift cards and donations we receive. Second, we need volunteers to prepare the backpacks for each child. If you’re interested in either way to help, please fill out the interest form here and we’ll contact you ASAP.
