Supporting Children Raised in single-parent households.
How can you help?
Did you know a quarter of US families are headed by a single parent?
Working For a Purpose's main goal is to assist children raised in single-parent homes in the Effingham and surrounding areas to provide their children with the necessities and resources they need. Without contributions from our community, this foundation would not be possible. We would like to thank all of our sponsors and donors. We couldn't do this without your generous donations! Thank you to our donors!
Join our Village through Volunteering/Community Service
It Takes a Village
We believe that every family deserves support, dignity, and hope. As a volunteer, you become part of something bigger—a community coming together to provide clothing, food, shelter, and a strong foundation for families who need it most.
Whether you have a few hours a week or a day each month, your time and compassion can transform lives.
