Our services encompass a broad spectrum, from emotional support and referrals to practical assistance like meal provision, clothing aid, transportation to appointments, childcare, budget planning, and light housekeeping. Moreover, we facilitate both in-person and online grief support groups across diverse social media platforms, ensuring accessibility and solidarity for those in need. Grief Support: In Kershaw County, five dedicated grief support groups provided compassionate assistance to eleven individuals. These groups offered a supportive environment to help those experiencing loss as they navigate through their grief and move towards a renewed sense of normalcy. 0 850 Community Assistance: Through our community assistance program, we've provided crucial support to five individuals, offering them not only temporary hotel accommodations but also essential items such as clothing and hygiene products. Additionally, we've extended financial support to help them stabilize and rebuild their lives during challenging times. 0 1263 Estate Planning Seminar: In response to the challenges faced by individuals in our grief support groups, we organized an Estate Planning Seminar. We recognized that many were struggling to process their grief due to being unprepared for the complexities that arise following the loss of a loved one. To address this, we assembled a panel of specialists to provide guidance and empower our community with essential knowledge. The seminar featured a diverse group of experts, including: An attorney specializing in estate law; A funeral home director to outline end-of-life service options; A Veterans Affairs representative to discuss benefits for service members; A Medicare representative to explain health care considerations; Chaplain services to offer spiritual support. This initiative was met with an overwhelming positive response, as evidenced by the attendance of 102 community members. We are committed to continuing such programs to support our community in times of need. 0 2742 KARE 4 Homeless Initiative: In a concerted effort to support the homeless population, we successfully distributed 400 backpacks filled with essential items across four counties. Each backpack was thoughtfully packed with: Hygiene products for personal care; A warm blanket to combat the cold; A hat and gloves for additional warmth; A medical kit for basic health needs; Bottled water to stay hydrated; Non-perishable food items for sustenance. Our distribution network was made possible through strategic partnerships with local food kitchens and homeless shelters in Richland, Horry, Greenville, and Charleston Counties. This collaboration ensured that the backpacks reached those in dire need, providing a bit of comfort and care to our community's most vulnerable members. 0 6375 11230 Isis Vinette Jenkins CEO 30 0 0 0 Charles Edward Jenkins Jr Treasurer 15 0 0 0 Kiyawnna Symonne Odom Secretary 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 SC Charles Edward Jenkins Jr 941 Langford Rd Blythewood SC 29016 8033732336 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 14879 14879 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 14879 14879 14879 0 0 0 0 0 0 14879 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 No income, $0.00 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Advertising Fees;511|Bank Fees;134|Charitable Donations to International Praise Church of God;150|Education and Training;45|Membership Fees;253|Office Funiture;447|Supplies;387|Travel Expenses;86|Volunteer Reimbursements;1331|American Express Credit Card Payments;3207^Total;6551^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 24 Fixed Assets: Machinery & equipment $1370.00; Furniture & fixtures: $1035.00 Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^American Express Credit Card;6027^Total;6027^
