Will You Help?

A major part of our mission is to expose youth and their families to things outside of their neighborhoods and allow them to have experiences that they would otherwise not get to have in their day to day lives.  We have the opportunity to help a local Jacksonville 5th grader attend a trip with the Safety Patrols to Washington D.C. at the end of next month.  The young boy has never been out of the city of Jacksonville.  He is a well-behaved student, but his family cannot afford all of the expenses involved with the trip.  Teachers at his school have pitched in and starting donating towards the cost of the trip, but he will still need some spending money.  If you would like to help this cause, please click the "Donate" button and give a contribution.   Every dollar counts!  Thank you! 

We have set a goal to contribute $50.00.  That just 10 people each donating $5.00.  Can we count on you?

Book Drive and Easter Egg Hunt Updates...

We are off to a great start this year and we will keep pushing forward!

 



1.  Read Across America Day Book Drive

A HUGE thank you to Brenda Gooch and Marion Brandon for their generous donation to Uplifting Arms, Inc. We were able to donate all of these books to S.A. Hull Elementary (a local Jacksonville Title One Elementary school).  In all we donated about 40 books!

2. Our 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt 

We had a blast this year again!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the event.  Once again the kids each received baskets that they were able to fill as they searched the playground for their candy-filled eggs.  They also enjoyed coloring and decorating their eggs!  A special thank you to Greenpointe Homes and KB Homes for providing all of the candy, food, drinks, and desserts and to the Midkiff family for doing the grilling!  We hope you all had fun and we will see you all at next year's event!
