Special Ministries of Livingston County is in the running for a State Farm Neighborhood Assist grant of $25,000, but the organization, which works with residents with disabilities in the community, needs your help.
Only 200 nonprofits were chosen for the competition, and only four from Michigan made the cut. Top 40 nonprofits with the most votes will each win $25,000.
As of this writing, Special Ministries is in 90th place out of the 200 organizations in the running.
State Farm is awarding the grants to worthwhile projects in education, safety, and community development.
Special Minstries of Livingston County offers activities for personal growth for children and adults with disabilities in Livingston County. The focus is to provide participants a sense of belonging and friendship through a wide array of programs and events. Children and adults diagnosed with physical, cognitive, or emotional disabilities often experience high rates of isolation and lack community involvement. They also often lack personal funds, transportation and job opportunities, and tend to be at or near the poverty level. Through the mission of SMLC, participants are engaged, feel like they belong, and are part of a larger community where they can interact.
