.... her husband and three children build a strong family. Colette signed up for Baby University, and
she learned that she was her children’s first teacher. Her son, Blake, attended the KUO preschool,
sponsored by Chapel Hill Christian Church; and her daughter, Abby, is part of
the KUO Girl Scouts. Collette’s family
have eaten countless meals that you have supplied as she betters herself. Collette and her family recently, moved out
of a public housing apartment and are now renting a large house that will
comfortably house her entire family. The
children are going to Upward Basketball because of connections that were made
in the community. They now have Hope!
Kokomo Urban Outreach now has a presence in 32 neighborhoods
in Kokomo. Hundreds of people are given Hope each week. You provide about 64,000 meals each and
every month….768,000 meals a year through
Buddy Bags, food pantries and cooked meals, all of which are supported
by you. Thank you.
Children are showing improvement at school as parents learn
through Baby University that all children are home schooled; they are home way
more than they are at school….parents learn to keep teaching. Because children have food, they are
healthier. Because of donated clothing and hygiene supplies, children go to
school clean and clean children are less likely to be bullied. Because of social activities, children are
developing a healthy self-esteem.
The impact you are having on the community is incredible,
the presence of KUO can be felt all across the city. Recently a local pastor, made the comment,
“I can’t imagine our city without Kokomo Urban Outreach”. I responded, “God is good!” To impact our community on this scale it
takes all of us—you, me, everyone. Your
end of the year gift will go a long way in impacting our community.
Christmas is all
about hope. Thank you for offering Hope to our neighbors who struggle. As
you make decisions about year-end giving, It is my prayer you will consider supporting
Kokomo Urban Outreach.
Christmas Blessings,
Jeff Newton
