PARTNER OF THE MONTH

Helping the Elderly believe everyone should have the ability to live in a safe and functioning home.  They provide a hand up to those who are in need of home repairs and cannot afford the cost of labor or materials.

Helping the Elderly was started by David Pace, who operated Straight Nails Construction for over fifteen years. Through the Holy Spirit, David was led to start a ministry that helps those in need (primarily the elderly population) that cannot afford to make repairs due to lack of funds, or unexpected circumstances.

Mission
To provide assistance with home improvements or repairs to elderly individuals' homes who may not be able to complete or pay for these tasks on their own, using qualified workers and support from local churches and the community in which we serve.

Vision
To continue to grow becoming a corporation that has funding that allows us to be recognized by God and the community as a leader in elderly assistance, doing so by working with honesty and integrity in all that we do.

CURRENT PARTNER NEEDS

Meet the most pressing needs in our community.

Helping the Elderly - Saturday, May 9th
Grace Chapel is grateful to partner with Helping the Elderly as we come alongside the widows of our congregation to share care, kindness, and encouragement in tangible ways.

Volunteers will spend time planting flowers and helping with a variety of practical needs at individual homes—simple acts that mean a great deal.

We’ll begin the morning by gathering at the Grace Chapel building at 8:00 a.m. for a brief devotional and prayer, uniting our hearts before heading out to serve.

Please bring along any yard tools that you feel might be helpful (gloves, rakes, shovels, etc.)

Would you like to be a part of this special day of service? Sign up at the link below!

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Wayne Stubbs or Jim Beasley.
We Need Mentors!
Whitlow Elementary needs MENTORS!
Click here to learn more.

A mentor is a volunteer that helps provide a WES student with a special, supportive relationship that will hopefully become a foundation for success in that child's life.

Mentors typically commit 30 minutes per week during school hours to meet with a student and help promote a student's self-worth, motivation, coping skills and strength of character.

Mentoring is a special way that you can help children and give back to your community. You can make a difference!

Contact our Whitlow Elementary liaison, Tim Aligheri, with any questions.
