Make This Season Brighter for Those in Need!
Your generosity is a lifeline for so many. Together, we can ensure that every person in our community has access to the support they need—whether it's through family preservation, emergency services, kinship and foster care, mental health counseling or enrichment programs for youth and seniors.
With your tax-deductible gift, you can help deliver hope to those who need it most this holiday season. Choose which fund you want to support:
1. Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes urgent needs arise that can feel overwhelming. Our Compassionate Care Fund is here to provide timely support to individuals and families served by Diakon programs facing unexpected challenges. Our fund is designed to offer immediate assistance where it's needed most.
2. The Second Chance Fund is a way to keep at-risk young people on the path to success. Although our youth now have an intense desire for success, they often lack the financial means to reach their goal. For that reason, we developed the Second Chance Fund—which allows donors to “partner” with young people through this fund to help them overcome obstacles that would otherwise delay their positive growth.
3. Your gift to general Diakon Child, Family & Community Ministries programs supports:
- Sliding fee scale for counseling clients.
- Services designed to help children and youth transition successfully into foster or adoptive families—or return to their birth home or relatives after a placement.
- Operations of the unique Diakon Wilderness Center, whose programs help to put youth who are at risk on the path to success in life.
- Community programming for older adults.
- Educational scholarships for young people served by a Diakon program.
- Transitional, educational and accountability services in local communities for at-risk youth and young adults.
