Giving Back
WE ARE DONATING 10% OF ALL PROCEEDS TO THE LA DREAM CENTER!
Why are we donating to the LA Dream Center?
- First: The Dream Center has held a very close place in my heart. It has been a place of temporary shelter for my family and I. Back in 2012, my parents lost their restaurant and my grandma's restaurant burned down within that time, resulting in the desperate need of housing. The Dream Center offered my family and I a place to stay and I am forever grateful.
- Second: The Dream Center serves as a resource center focused on providing support to those affected by homelessness, hunger, and the lack of education through residential and community outreach programs.
- Third: Kingdom giving is the best giving! Transforming lives and communities through Christ- body, soul, spirit. The Dream Center's mission is to connect broken people to a community of support by providing free resources and services that address immediate and long-term needs in the areas of homelessness, hunger, poverty, addiction, abuse, education and human trafficking.
Why 10% donation?
- First: Giving back is the best feeling. based on findings from a Chronicle of Philanthropy survey of the 300 largest companies on the Fortune 500 list. Out of 300 businesses surveyed, 63 volunteered data about their corporate giving habits over the last two years. All told, the companies that responded typically give about 1% of their pretax profit to charity. It's not an apples-to-apples comparison, but most Americans who give, typically give between 2% and 3% of their income to nonprofits, according to the National Center for Charitable Statistics.
- Second: Be like Jesus. The Lord has commanded us to pay tithing. In return, He promises to "open ... the windows of heaven, and pour ... out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (Malachi 3:10). His blessings, however, come in His own way and in His own time and can be spiritual or temporal.
