MORE THAN A BED More Than a Bed (MTaB) is a foster, adoptive, and kinship resource center. We provide essentials to the families for the children in their homes which include: twin beds, cribs, toddler beds, clothes, shoes, socks, diapers, linens, and toys. We believe that every child deserves to be valued, to be safe and to have the opportunity to be all they can be. These displaced children have survived unspeakable circumstances, and we need to help however we can. MTaB was founded September 2014 by serving five families with toys and clothes. Today, we serve over 900 families (2200 children) and continue to grow at a rate of 30 families per month. VOLUNTEERS are always needed and appreciated. • Clothing and toy donations need to be sorted and vetted for cleanliness • We need ‘muscle’ to help load beds into the family vehicle, assemble donated cribs, retrieve needed baby items from our outside storage pod • We host various events throughout the year and need volunteers to help with the running of those events: o Parents Night Out (PNO) – We send the parents on a date night and supervise the children: pass out snacks / dinner to the children; host games and activities for a specific age group; set-up and tear-down. o Christmas Event – We have tables of age specific toys for the children 0-17, snacks, giveaways, and a family photo with Santa. o Our annual Golf Tournament Fundraiser which is being held at Sewailo Golf Course on April 23, 2022. Always a lot of fun. *MTaB is a Qualified Foster Care Charitable Organization (QFCO Code 10032) and cannot exist without the kindness and generosity of our wonderful financial donors and volunteers. Consider choosing MTaB to direct your 2021 tax credit dollars. Thank you. morethanabed.org St. Andrew’s Contact: Cindy Lange lucinlange@comcast.net, 520-742-2494
1MISSION Since 2006, members from St. Andrew's have joined with Pantano Christian Church to build homes for families in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco, Mexico). 1MISSION has been strengthening the community in Rocky Point by giving people in poverty the opportunity to earn a house while serving their community. 1MISSION also supports a local church and strives to train, equip, and empower local residents, leaders, and pastors to lift each other out of physical, spiritual, and emotional poverty. Volunteer Opportunities: You can join St. Andrew's on our next Rocky Point mission trip! This 4-day build trip is open to all ages and abilities. Volunteers can also choose to help with the Los Ninos outreach program that takes place in the neighborhoods we are serving. St. Andrew’s Contact: Kevin Oxnam kevinoxnam@gmail.com
