Join us on Tuesday, May 3, on Midlands Gives Day, in supporting our local nonprofits. With a donation of just $10 or more, you can join us in helping local nonprofit organizations make our community a stronger place to live, work, and play.
Being a local, family-owned business, we love supporting other local businesses and nonprofits. Local nonprofits support our whole community by providing vital services that make the Midlands more livable and vibrant. We encourage you to give online today through the Midlands Gives website so that your gift may be amplified by matching funds & prizes. A little goes a long way when we all give.
What is Midlands Gives Day?
Hosted by Central Carolina Community Foundation, Midlands Gives Day is an annual 18-hour online giving event that raises money and awareness for local nonprofits in 11 Midlands counties. During Midlands Gives Day, contributions of just $10 or more are amplified through sponsored prize incentives thanks to the Community Foundation's In Good Company Network.
You can visit MidlandsGives.org to find participating nonprofits & make donations. All donations will be processed through the website to track the giving. During Midlands Gives Day on May 3, donations will be tracked through the site's leaderboard and prizes are awarded to amplify donations.
The aim of the Midlands Gives program is to:
- Raise the level of knowledge about nonprofit organizations in our community and highlight their positive impact on our well-being.
- Grow the base of engaged donors in the Midlands - bringing new donors to our community benefit organizations.
- Support our local nonprofit organizations and improve their capacity through training opportunities.
To participate, simply log on to MidlandsGives.org, complete the giving form, select your charity or charities and make a donation on May 3 using your credit or debit card ($10 per organization minimum). Your credit card statement will reflect a donation to Midlands Gives, which will be forwarded to your charity of choice.
Highlighting Our Favorite Charities
Epworth Children's Home - Every dollar raised will stay right here in our community helping children, youth and families. Proceeds from Midlands Gives will be used directly for the care of children, for their daily needs, and also for the life skills lessons and fun activities that make childhood special.
Big Red Barn Retreat - The Big Red Barn Retreat (BRBR) was founded in 2014 to provide non-traditional programs, services and training that help veterans, active-duty, and first responders suffering from military or PTSD to achieve post-traumatic growth.
EmmanuWheel - What started as a church Service Ministry Project in 2009 quickly turned into the public charity known as EmmanuWheel, whose mission is to provide wheelchair ramps to mobility challenged individuals who cannot afford building materials and construction costs.
Homeless No More - The mission of Homeless No More is to create an environment for homeless and at-risk families to maximize potential and move towards independent lives. Due to sound programming, they have consistently had a 90%-97% success rate in getting families from homelessness to home.
Children's Cancer Partners of the Carolinas - The mission of Children's Cancer Partners of the Carolinas is to provide support and compassion to families whose children are battling cancer, to improve their overall quality of life, by providing financial, logistical and emotional assistance.
