Together We Made A Difference
Step forward with purpose and make a significant impact! Last year, due to your overwhelming generosity during our inaugural event, we successfully raised a remarkable $11,000. These funds had a transformative effect on the Bristol Special Olympics and the Agape House Homeless Outreach. The Bristol Special Olympics not only facilitated bowling opportunities for all the athletes but also paved the way for the inclusion of new participants and equipped them with fresh uniforms. Importantly, these contributions financed their weekly bowling practices, culminating in their participation in the Special Olympics Bowling State Tournament on November 18, 2023. Additionally, the funds covered their registration fees for this prestigious state tournament.
Agape House intends to use the funds raised to acquire a van, which will play a crucial role in supporting individuals, especially during the winter months. The van will be used to transport people to shelters, providing them with a warm and safe place to spend the night. Additionally, it will facilitate access to adult educational programs and job training, helping individuals move a step closer to becoming productive members of their community. The van will also be used to pick up and transport much-needed donations, assisting individuals and families who are facing homelessness and food insecurity. This essential service ensures that those in need have access to crucial resources, amplifying the positive impact of your generosity on our community and bringing hope, opportunity, and a brighter future to everyone involved.
This year, we are aiming even higher. Our goal is to fund additional programs for the Bristol Special Olympics and further expand the services provided by the Agape House for the homeless community. Each step you take alongside us brings hope, opportunity, and a brighter future for everyone involved.
