If you are looking for ways to get involved there are plenty of options to choose from. Here are some ideas on how you can help:
Spiritually
- Prayer – Pray for Pan De Vida as you feel led by the Lord. You can pray for specific children or pray for the shelter and everyone involved in this incredible ministry.
- Bibles & Books – There is always a need for Spanish Bibles and children’s Christian books.
Relationally
- Visit the children – You can participate in a scheduled mission trip to Pan De Vida or inquire to arrange a trip for your own group.
- Write the children – The children love getting cards and letters.
Physically
- Work projects – With plenty of work to be done at Pan De Vida, mission trips are welcome and demonstrate the love Jesus teaches.
- Clothing – With over 40 children at Pan De Vida, there is always a need for clothing, including shoes, socks, and underwear. Please check the children’s profile pages or inquire for size information.
- Share your Expertise – The organization is in need of support from individuals with experience in legal, tax, construction trades, repair/maintenance (building and automotive), healthcare, child development, education, and fundraising.
Financially
- Sponsorship – Creating sustainable change for a child.
- Donate Now – A gift supporting the most urgent needs; one time or reoccurring (you choose the frequency- monthly, quarterly)
- Designating a Gift – Education Fund, Greatest Needs, Women's Shelter Fund, Prison Ministry (street outreach), Capital Projects Fund - as Pan De Vida grows, so does its needs for new infrastructure and facilities to include a new dining hall, kitchen, recreation area, perimeter fencing and reliable vehicles.
