North Chicago & Gurnee Community Days
North Chicago & Gurnee Community Days
We started the mission of HDMI by participating in both the North Chicago and Gurnee Community Days in August 2017. We wanted to get the message out to the community that HDMI provides scholarships for low income and first generation college bound students. We realized and we were also able to connect with some of the young people in the local communities as well. We handed out 900 book bags, 600 glow sticks, 300 pairs of socks, 150 spinners and 20 lbs of candy. During both events we were able to partner with community organizations to aid the core mission of supporting underprivileged youth.
Kids Hope USA
North Chicago & Gurnee Community Days
Kids Hope USA
House of David Ministries, Inc. has partnered with Fox Lake Community Church and Kid’s Hope USA to provide mentors for Big Hollow Elementary School located in Ingleside, Il. Kids Hope USA builds life-changing relationships one at a time --One Child. One Hour. One School. One Church. Over two decades ago, Dr. Virgil Gulker researched a question, "How can churches have the greatest impact on America’s at-risk children?", which led to the launch of Kids Hope US. After gathering input from sociologists, law enforcement, health professionals, educators, and child development experts, one response appeared on the top of everyone’s lists--fill the relational voids in kids' lives. In other words, send people to personally meet with students who need reliable, caring adult relationships. And start with children in the earliest grades.
That was the clear answer in 1995. It is still the answer today.
