CLOTHING IS MORE THAN A BASIC NEED
Clothing is very important in a person’s life. The need for clothing is more than just a necessity. For example, we use clothing to express ourselves and our status. For this reason, it hurts parents when they can’t buy nice clothing for their children. Furthermore, it is difficult to move ahead financially without clothing suitable for job interviews, for work, and for important life events. However, nice clothing is a luxury that can not always fit into a tight budget.
SHOWING LOVE THROUGH GIVEAWAYS
Therefore, Clothing Giveaways are the main outreach of John 6:12 Ministries. John 6:12 Ministries collects used clothing and household items in very good condition. Then, we make these items available for free to those in need through clothing giveaway events. Although this is a simple concept, it has a big impact. Those who donate the items feel good to know their items are going to help others. And those who receive the items feel special. The items we provide show them that someone does care; most of all that their Heavenly Father cares, even about meeting their everyday needs.
GIVEAWAYS HELP FAMILIES STRETCH THEIR FINANCES
Prices for everyday items have gone up significantly since the pandemic, and many families are struggling to make ends meet. Many are suffering lack because their resources can’t stretch to meet the needs of their family. So, by offering items to these families for free, John 6:12 Ministries of Syracuse, NY seeks to offer hope and encouragement to those in need.
Furthermore, when families find items they need at the giveaways, they can save money that can be used for other necessities.
HOSTING GIVEAWAY EVENTS HELPS MANY FAMILIES
Through giving, we can certainly show our love to many families who are in need. John 6:12 Ministries hosts community clothing giveaways where anyone can come and choose quality items for free without proof of identity or income. We have large outreach events when the seasons change and also do small giveaways to support other organizations. Many come to
our events to get clothing for their families, but they are blessed to receive love and encouragement as well. We let them know that even though they may be overlooked by others, they are precious to God.
