April 7, 2024 - Shelby County Outreach Ministries is excited to announce its participation in the highly anticipated East Texas Giving Day on April 29, 2025. This 18-hour online fundraising event provides a crucial opportunity for the community to come together and support the vital work of local non-profit organizations.
Shelby County Outreach Ministries has been a beacon of hope in Shelby County, providing essential services to individuals and families in need. From food assistance and clothing to utility support and crisis intervention, the organization works tirelessly to address the challenges facing our community. We are serving 208 seniors in our feeding programs and have several on a waiting list for Meals on Wheels. Our Helping Hands Outreach Center serves over 500 families through our emergency food boxes.
"East Texas Giving Day is a great way to bring in much needed funds for non-profits like ours," says Sherry Harding, Executive Director. "It allows us to connect with a wider audience that can bring awareness to the many people struggling to make ends meet.” “With the rising cost of food and overall inflation, this opportunity will help us to help others.”
Donors can support Shelby County Outreach Ministries by visiting www.easttexasgivingday.org/organization/shelbycountyoutreach on April 29th between 6:00 AM and midnight. They can also go to our website: shelbycountyoutreach.org. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant impact on the lives of those served by the organization. Together we can impact lives in our community.
East Texas Giving Day is an initiative of the East Texas Communities Foundation, aimed at empowering non-profits and fostering a culture of giving in the region. The event provides a user-friendly platform for donors to easily and securely contribute to their favorite causes.
