"Our Peaceful Place" is a homeless shelter that one of our member's Grandmas runs. Recently, "Our Peaceful Place" lost its building due to lack of funding. Now they are working on the streets of the city from their backpacks. Our goal is to earn enough money for "Our Peaceful Place" to regain its building, give a leg up by collecting the needed supplies for helping the homeless, and also to provide volunteers from our club for "Our Peaceful Place".

The Playground Project, for the kids at Crisis Ministries
Charleston, South Carolina
A few of my friends and I (we are six (6) yrs old) started a project to raise money for the homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Charleston. We think that every kid should have a playground, somewhere at the shelter to have some fun, laugh and play and just be kids. We have raised about $3,000 to build a nice playground but have $12,000 more to go to do it right.

I spent a week in West Virginia with my youth group to help feed the hungry and work alongside them to create a better life for them. Even just being there to listen, and to be interested in their stories was enough to really make their week. This has been an annual trip for four years now, and has been incredibly rewarding. We have seen the mission grow and flourish. So many sucsess stories have come from this place! One of the days we were there, we had a small vacation Bible school for the children of the projects in Charleston, this was a very challenging, but also quite rewarding.
