ABUNDANT BLESSINGS
In late 2018, an individual donated 3 twin mattresses and other items to be given to local foster families and thus the concept of Abundant Blessings was formed. A commercial space, at 1421 Forum Dr, Ste A-2, in Rolla was donated to house items and outreach to the community began, serving foster children and referred families. Since that time, we have partnered with local businesses, churches and community organizations to keep our shelves stocked with new packs of socks, underwear and pajamas. Community members donate used clothing in excellent condition so we can have the latest styles for the kiddos we serve. Local grants have allowed us funds to fill in items as needed and we look forward to find new ways to support families.
Abundant Blessings vision is to cultivate a sense of community, in Phelps County, the 25th Circuit and beyond, in order to support families so they can achieve success. To fulfill this vision, Abundant Blessings mission is four-fold through care for physical needs, connecting families to establish a network of support, cultivating knowledge to empower families and communicating needs to the community.
Our 2021 Annual Report and brochure illustrates the progress we've made and the goals we have as we look forward. In 2023, we are working to raise funds to hire a full time staff person and you can read more about that and our future needs here.
