Meredith and Harper had a Kool Aid and Lemonade stands and raised $44.48 for the children served by Lowcountry Orphan Relief! Here they are delivering the money to the LOR clothing closet in July. Thank you, girls!!

Amanda Robins, Emily Robins, Darien Collins, and Jessica Bouknight from the Rainbow Girls- Summerville Assembly #28 came by today along with their leader, Marilyn Lipscomb, to drop of 25 backpacks stuffed with supplies. Their group has been a supporter of LOR for many years. Thank you so much!

Kathleen Prosdocimo brought the youth group from The Creek Church in Goose Creek to work on July 28. What a great group- they sorted clothes, restocked shelves, and moved all of our special event items to the new bunker to make room for more clothes! It was hot work, but they did it with big smiles! Thank you!!

These folks came all the way from Crossroads United Methodist Church in Oakdale, PA for the “Week of Hope Project”. They worked at the clothing closet for the last two days, sorting clothes, cleaning, filling orders and restocking shelves. We thank them and wish them traveling mercies on their trip home on Saturday.  Thank you Donna Goss, Marissa Phillips, Lauren Kilpatrick, Blair Conner, Milena Donne, and Ashley Bucks!

Grace Christian Church, Summerville: Brenda Keene, Sarah Keene, Alexis Keene, Jennifer Gabriel, and Ryan Mitchell came and helped out at the closet on July 19. They were a hard-working group and we so appreciate their giving up their summer vacation to help us out!

Michael Barber, son of Mike and Marie Barber, had his eighth birthday recently and collected lots of back-to-school items and toiletries for LOR. Michael has been doing this every year since his fifth birthday!!

Eight-year-old John White, Jr. has been raising money for LOR by selling “flipoutz” bracelets. He has raised over $100 so far and hopes to exceed $250. He has been an avid “seller” since he was 4 years old. He started with lemonade, and donated some of his proceeds to the Leukemia and Lymphoma societies in the past. When he wanted to sell the new bracelets, he said he wanted to help “orphans” so his mother chose LOR. The bracelets were invented by friends of theirs in Davidson, NC. Check out www.flipoutz.com.

Andrew Palmer recently had his fourth birthday and collected diapers for LOR instead of receiving birthday gifts. He and his mother Elizabeth delivered them to the clothing closet on July 2. Thank you, Andrew, for being so thoughtful!

John Hamilton and some of the men from S.C.STRONG recently refurbished our garage so that we can use it for storage space. Besides painting and power washing, they boarded up the windows, put on a new roof, and took off the old garage door. All this in the 95 degree heat we have been having! What a wonderful blessing!! Thanks so much!!

The Carpenter’s Life Group from Christ Church Mt. Pleasant came and worked Saturday, June 12. The guys worked on shelving while the girls sorted donations. Without wonderful volunteers like these we could not help the abused, abandoned and neglected children in our area!
