100,000 meals this summer

You don’t have to go far to help people who are hurting. Right here in our community – in our own backyard – there are neighbors who are wondering where they’ll sleep tonight. When they’ll eat their next meal.

How they’ll overcome their desperate circumstances. They’re homeless… hungry… battling addiction… struggling to survive. But thanks to friends like you, who love your neighbors and show your compassion through your gifts to The Foundry Ministries, you can bring them hope.

Through our 92-Day Summer Campaign, you can give where you live to assist broken people like Matt.
Give Today
Growing up with a father who used drugs and alcohol, Matt followed in his role model’s footsteps, unaware of where the path would lead. By the time he graduated from college he had developed a serious addiction, and for years he denied he had a problem. But when Matt’s marriage ended, he struggled to hold a job.
Unable to care for his daughter, he realized the toll substance abuse was taking on his life. The death of his sister was the final blow. Matt turned away from God, lost in bitterness, until his destructive habits led to an arrest. By God’s grace, a judge ordered him to come to The Foundry Ministries.

When Matt came to The Foundry, God’s love and gifts from you and other faithful friends provided him with food, shelter and guidance to restore his life.
Our utility expenses for June, July and August combined are expected to run as high as $129,000.

This is the goal of our 92-Day Summer Campaign, and we need your help to meet it. I pray I can count on you to send a gift today and twice again in the coming months.

Men, women and children throughout Alabama need our assistance, and we need yours. Please give where you live today. Your generosity will ensure we can continue to meet essential needs and provide life-restoring guidance this summer and all year-round.

God bless you for your kindness,


Gratefully,
I'll Give Where I Live
