Joy & Purpose in Peoria

Earlier this month, a group from Peoria, IL came together to bring JOY and PURPOSE to their foster care community by re-vamping one of their local DCFS offices. 

Partnering with, Lifesong for Orphans & The Forgotten Initative, they raised over $3000 and collected donated items.  With these donations, they, like us, were blown away at the body of Christ and its ability to BLESS kids who have been forgotten by simply working together!  They were able to provide sleeping cots, blankets, pillows, rocking chair, new widow treatments, books & toys and diapers & wipes to their local DSFS.

Now check out these pictures to see for yourself!

We've developed great relationships with those working in DCFS to let them know that the body of Christ genuinely cares about kids who live on the margins in our community.
