Be Rich Makes it Simple for you to make a difference!
This year all of the money raised will be used to fund our "FOR the Students" Initiative. On Saturday, November 2nd, LifeHouse volunteers will be taking 125 students shopping for shoes, coats, and clothing as well as sharing lunch with them. Your financial gift will sponsor a portion of, a complete, or several students' shopping experience. And your time to serve during our FOR the Students Event will make a huge difference in life of an area student.
Any money raised above and beyond the amount needed to pay for the event itself will be given to the schools to be used to pay for student needs that come up throughout the year.
Deliver Emergency Relief to Communities Devastated by Hurricane Helene
Thousands in the South, including some of our own friends and family, are without water, food, and relief supplies due to the devastation of Hurricane Helene. We're providing those essentials by partnering with Convoy of Hope, a faith-based nonprofit disaster relief organization that's on the ground in those communities.
How We'll Do It: Raise $35,000 by October 27th
Here's the breakdown of the $35,000 goal for our 2024 Be RIch campaign:
- 80% to "FOR the Students" to provide essentials to local students in need
- 20% to Convoy of Hope for hurricane disaster relief
- 100% (every penny!) of Be Rich donations going out the door
What If We Raise Excess?
Great question - you donated over $70,000 in our 2023 Be Rich campaign, and we know we can up that in 2024! Here's the breakdown for excess donations:
- 80% to area schools so essentials can be provided throughout the school year to students in need
- 20% to Convoy of Hope for hurricane disaster relief
- 100% still going out the door
Would you consider making a donation of at least $50 to help students in need and those affected by Hurricane Helene? Together we can make a difference!
November 2nd is our "FOR the Students" event. We need at least 175 adult volunteers to serve students in the following roles:
- Shopper
- Food/Hospitality (At the Church)
- Floater/Check-out
We'd love for this to be an "all hands on-deck" event for those who call LifeHouse home! We know not everyone will be available, so if you CAN make it work in your schedule that day, it would be a huge way to make an impact together.
