Just a few extra hands

We love serving Single Moms in our community and we are grateful to the volunteers who give their time to help. We had around 9 volunteers come to help a wonderful lady with some much-needed yardwork, installed some pavers to help with her trash receptacles, power washed her deck to get rid of loose old wood and stained her deck. She has two busy kids and has been a caretaker for her mother, who was sick for the last few months. She wrote this thank you to us,

"I was not aware of this program until my close friend nominated me and

I have been truly blessed by your kindness and support. The hours,

efforts and energy given by the volunteers is such a gift and so are

the supplies/materials. I am very, very grateful to Be the Gift

and hope I can help others the way you all have helped me some day!!

A multitude of thanks for supporting our 2023 Cajun Boil Benefit Dinner

We appreciate the support of friends and the business community who came together for this one evening of excitement - meeting someone new and helping us exceed our financial goals. Per the trend of the summer, we had a storm pass through early on, but that didn’t stop the fun. We shared our BTG story and passion for both single mom families and the fantastic volunteers that help us. We all put on our crab bibs and feasted on the delicious Cajun boil. You purchasing a table or buying tickets made it all happen.

The impact of this is great for the lives of Widows and Single Mom Families we will assist with home repair next week, next month and next year. This will move them from their present struggles to a bright and future hope. We will fill in the gaps and help restore their homes and improve their lives. We like to say at Be the Gift, “Together We Can Do So Much” Lets continue to do great things in the community and help as many families as we can.

Mark your calendars next year for our 8th Annual Cajun Boil on July 19th, 2024.

We can't wait to see you!
