Give Back Challenge

Organization rescues animals (horses, llamas, mini horses, goats, sheep) and works with girls rescued from human trafficking using the animals as animal and equine therapy. The funds would be so helpful in getting the girls continued help with education, jobs, therapy, feeding and housing the girls as well as feeding the animals. We are a 501c3 organization that relies solely on donations, mostly local.

Volunteer to plan and help with a fundraising dinner/silent auction or donate horse feed/hay/animal feed for the animals we rescue. Or donate dheets for single beds and bath towels for the girls.

Our goal is to develop young individuals who will act as role models in their local communities in academics, as well as athletics. Our mission is to teach the fundamentals of football, fostering self-discipline, goal setting and goal attainment while developing the self confidence in young athletes to apply these attributes to reach higher academic achievements. One of toughest tasks is providing quality uniforms and equipment, therefore the funds will go towards uniforms and equipment.

We have plenty of volunteers to assist One Hour Cares or can provide food. We give to Churches and collect canned food to the pantries in the area.

Poverty, food and shelter insecurities, trauma and other obstacles annually prevent youth from finishing school and having successful lives. At Communities In Schools, we employ transformative relationships, community partners, and evidence based strategies to lessen the impact of these barriers, ensuring youth graduate and achieve in life. The assistance of One Hour Cares would help us offset the impact of the pandemic, which increased the amount of barriers our youth face.

The Give Back Challenge would help more communities learn about the amazing work we do and allow for us to meet and utilize more of the amazing organizations that exist within the Hampton Roads area.
