MOTIVATE OUR MINDS

Motivate Our Minds, Inc. (MOM) is a not-for-profit organization that provides year-round education enrichment for kindergarten through 8th grade. MOM is committed to helping children/youth build character and establish transformative relationships through the experiences they offer. When students know that others care about their personal development and outcomes, they begin to recognize their own potential.

They are in great need of a van to transport the children. If you would like to help, you can make a donation to Hazelwood. Mark the memo line “MOM.” If writing a check, it would greatly help our bookkeeper if you write a separate check from your regular offering. Please prayerfully consider helping this worthy community project.
