What you can do:
People of all faiths and walks of life can influence the success of these services to reduce the size of “at risk” populations in our community by supporting Friends of Bethany. For example, Reva, single mom in her early 20’s, came to Friends of Bethany when she was at her lowest. She was homeless and estranged from her family. Through our mentoring services we came alongside Reva, showed her love and helped her get housing.

Fortunately compassionate women were there to help. We are delighted to report that the services provided, by generous contributors, like you, Reva has developed a healthy life style, is a positive child rearing parent, and is now connected to a local church. She is well on her way to being a productive citizen, as are her two growing children.

However, we can only provide these life changing and community improving services when donors express their support of these important values.
