HELP NEEDED: TURN AWAY NO LONGER MINISTRIES
Turn Away No Longer (TANL) is a nonprofit organization in Madison County helping children in need. TANL provides Swag Packs to children entering foster care through their Care4Kidz program.
Swag Packs are new bags/backpacks stuffed with new items the children need and can use, along with an encouraging note to tell a child, "you do matter, we care about you, God loves you and He has a plan for your life". TANL works with Benchmark Family Services, Kids Peace Indiana Foster Care, and the Dept. of Child Services at the state and local levels.
Swag Packs give children a bit of comfort in having something of their very own they can take with them to their next destination. Grace Baptist Church is a Drop Zone for donations and wants to fully support these efforts to make a difference in children's lives. Find information at the buttons below on what items to donate for this effort:
