Monthly Charity
Thank you for helping us give back to those in need in our community!
Our community is important to us and through the years we have supported local charities and causes. In late 2009 we decided to take this even further and actively support a specific charity each month. Gilles matches your in-store donations dollar for dollar, and 100% of the monies we collect go to the charity. Due to the generous contributions from our wonderful and caring customers and those from Gilles, this program has been a terrific success.
If you have a suggestion for a charity for us to highlight, please let us know by using this link. When choosing a charity we focus on those that help people directly and have administrative costs of 10% or less.
The Monthly Charity for May is New Beginnings. Find out more about their great work at homeformothers.com
New Beginnings – A Home for Mothers, located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, provides a loving and supportive place for single mothers to start a new life. This Christian-based residential setting is designed to help new mothers become responsible parents – by raising their new babies in a caring environment.
New Beginnings enables a single mother to live away from potentially dangerous or harmful influences and nurture her baby in a positive environment. We provide a unique opportunity for generationally poor mothers to grow in their confidence and independence while being supported in raising their child .
Currently, our program provides opportunities to:
- - advance education
- - learn fundamental parenting and financial skills
- - participate in counseling sessions
- - acquire an objective baseline for responsible living through a structured faith-based program
Ultimately, our vision is to equip each mother with the skills and education needed to earn self-sustaining wages, with out an indeterminate need for government assistance.
Your gift gives mothers and babies at New Beginnings the chance to learn, grow in Christ, continue their education, and live in a safe, loving environment.
