Update Feed From The COC
"I'm so blessed, emotional, speechless and grateful right now. They're truly blessing my family and we feel special. Thank y'all for everything."- A. Lanus, "Housing The Homeless" participant.
Mrs. Lanus is receiving furniture as well as essential items necessary to make a house a home. She will now be able to host Thanksgiving dinner for the first time in her life. We were able to give her and her four children three vehicles filled with daily living essentials. She's just one of the many people whose lives you change forever when you participate in our 225 Gives initiative!
If you're feeling thankful this year, pass it on by giving back to other families in Baton Rouge. No donation is too small: www.225gives.org/christianoutreachcenter
