ARMS WIDE OPEN MINISTIRES, INC.

Arms Wide Open Ministries is a non-profit organization formed in October of 2008. This organization was founded by a local counselor who saw a tremendous need in our community for more support and resources for children and teens. We seek to fill in the gaps for these kids who are "lost" in our society. Our plan is multi-faceted and complex but we have attached a detailed explanation of our three phases of development. We are currently working on completing Phase II. What we are doing is so broad that we cannot do it alone--we need the aid and support of many, many people in order to be successful. We hope you will choose to partner with us in some way to help us reach the children and teens of Lowndes County!

We desire to educate the community as well as aid in the education of our youth. We want to extend open arms to the children others turn away. We intend to provide housing for abused, neglected, abandoned, and delinquent children of this area, to provide after school programs which provide supervision, abstinence and drug education, tutoring, and therapeutic services to local youth, to provide transitional housing for local homeless teens, and to provide various summer camps for children who seek healing from traumatic experiences.
