Seed Grant: Mebane UMC
Youth from Mebane UMC hosted a ZOE Festival and raised enough funds to support three full households of vulnerable children for their 3 years in the Giving Hope Empowerment Project.
The Youth of Mebane UMC turned their $100 Seed Grant into $2,668 by sponsoring a day of activities to raise money for orphans in Africa. The day began early in the morning with a pancake breakfast and Silent Auction of Talents donated by the Youth and ended with a Parent’s Night Out babysitting service at 8:30pm. Thanks to everyone who made this wonderful day possible.
This gift is the equivalent of support for three households of vulnerable children for their entire three years in the Giving Hope Empowerment Project! At the end of the three years, the children in Giving Hope have learned the life-skills necessary to be self-sufficient and eliminate dependence on outside relief programs.
