Lent Giving to HAY
Donation protected
As this year's season of Lent is coming to an end, I'm reminded of the kind of fast that pleases God, as it states in Isaiah 58:6-7:
"Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?"
As we anticipate Easter, I want to encourage you to seriously consider giving to one of the organizations which is dear to my heart and KCCEM - HAY (Healthy Asian Youth).
HAY is an after-school and summer program that recognizes the educational needs of under-served students in grades K-12. It welcomes kids of all backgrounds and races, providing them with tutoring, mentoring, leadership training, and other educational services. For grades K-8, HAY offers reading, mathematics, art, sciences, and computer enrichment classes. For grades 9-12, it focuses on violence prevention programs, and college and career workshops. It also provides unique opportunities for students to engage in recreational activities, including break dancing, sports, arts and crafts, and field trips.
The donations from this fundraiser will go towards getting a van for HAY so that we can continue to provide transportation for the kids. If you are not able to donate please consider volunteering at HAY. Thank you!
