Every dollar of profit goes to support this ministry. For the last 12 years we have supported two agencies: 1.) Murphy Harpst deals with battered and abused children, and 2.) Project Transformation of North Georgia is focused on academic, physical, social-emotional, and spiritual needs of children from low-income communities. We’ve been blessed over the years to have donated over $400,000 to agencies supporting vulnerable children. |
