OUTREACH PARTNERS
We are pleased to announce that Walk2Remember.com
has joined hands with non-profit service organizations that helps people in times of crisis and provides support for
people working toward self-sufficiency.
A lot of us are fortunate enough to have our
day to day basic human needs. Unfortunately there are millions who don't. We invite you to lend a helping hand to these people
who live in our community by sharing God's love and serving them during their times of crisis. It is our job to encourage
one another by sharing God's blessings.
We hope that you will take the time in doing so.
'I tell you the truth,
whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' (Matthew 25:40)
Below, you will find the needs we currently seek at
the moment. However, the need for help in various non-profit organizations are endless... please do what your heart tells
you.

ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally Americans –
ONE by ONE – to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. ONE is students and ministers, punk rockers
and NASCAR moms, Americans of all beliefs and every walk of life, united as ONE to help make poverty history. ONE believes
that allocating an additional ONE percent of the U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean water
and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in the world's poorest countries. ONE also calls for
debt cancellation, trade reform and anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive package to help Africa and the poorest
nations beat AIDS and extreme poverty.

As a member of Willow Creek
Community Church in South Barrington, IL. I would like to present to you a Cry for Help. Many times we tend to ignore
or forget the needs of other people around us. May it be physical, emotional or spiritual ... let's face it, people are in
deep need. But we in the other hand are living in a comfort zone. Someday, when we face our Heavenly Father, what will we say
if we're asked what help have we extended to His people who are desparately seeking for help? Wouldn't it be great to
face Him with dirty clothes because we have been busy extending God's love to His people? Think about it! I hope somehow your
heart will be filled with compassion to help the ones who are suffering. -Lovely Miranda

Bringing the love of Christ year-round to prisoners' kids across
America. When your parent is in prison, so are you. Your heart is locked behind a wall of loneliness. Your future
is bound by shame. But Jesus came to set the captives free, and through Angel Tree your church can bring the love of Christ
year-round to prisoners' kids across America. In Matthew 18:5 Jesus said, "Whoever welcomes a little child like this in my
name welcomes me." Through Angel Tree, you can welcome children into your heart as if you were welcoming Jesus Himself. Right
now in your community there are some children who are among the most at-risk children in the nation. It is so easy to connect
with them through Angel Tree.
May God's love shine upon you as you take on a fulfilling job, God has bestowed upon you. And
may the kids you long to help, be blessed by your generosity.
~ Continue to be encouraged! ~

Children's Memorial has relied on the support of donors and
volunteers to help ensure that critically ill and injured children have access to the highest quality care for nearly 125
years now.
Since 1882, Children's Memorial Hospital has been guided by
the belief that all children should be able to grow up in a protective and nurturing environment, where each child is given
the opportunity to reach his or her potential. They believe this vision can provide a brighter future for all children.
Philanthropy plays a critical role in accomplishing these goals,
especially in today's increasingly challenging health care environment. Founded in 1987, the Children's Memorial Foundation
is a charitable 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, through which all gifts benefit Children's Memorial Hospital.
