Childrens Charity Ministry Story
Childrens Charity Ministry was established in July 2009.

We started out very small helping where we could and recruiting children and teens to help others in need (children helping children). Initially we helped by providing food and hygiene items to 1 school, we went to nursing homes, collected donations for the sanctuary. We did all of this with the help of our child volunteers. We also had a clothing closet which assisted hundreds of people in the first year.

Our next step was to just focus on the schools. The first school had needs and we figured children at other schools also had needs, so we offered our assistance in other local schools.

At this point we were growing so fast and material donations flowing in so fast, we were running out of room. Logistically it was difficult to receive, clean and distribute items to those in need from a basement or garage. But as usual, God filled our needs with the perfect place for the CCM Thrift Store which we established in May 2011.

As progress goes, we always need more space for food and hygiene item storage, packing the lunches and more space for display of the thrift store items. The good thing about doing the Lord’s work is that he always takes care of our needs. He has opened doors to provide us much larger space to do what he needs us to accomplish. We moved into our new home for CCM on Tuesday July 31st, 2012. We are just off of HWY 62/65 at 1405 North Main Street in the Younes Shopping Center in Harrison, AR.

The Childrens Charity Ministry (CCM) Thrift Store allows us to accept donations of items to sell which helps us provide our services to the community. Having the store on North Main Street in Harrison, AR provides us a valuable method of being noticed. Most of our operational income comes from the operation of the thrift store.

After a long drawn out process, Childrens Charity Ministry officially became a Charitable non-profit, IRS code 501 (C) (3) in July 2011. This allows all donations to be tax deductible.

We continue to grown and expand our services while continually seeking to partner with community businesses and other service providers.

Childrens Charity Ministry is an IRS Code 501 (c) (3) non-profit (not for profit), tax exempt organization. Any donations to the organization are also tax exempt.
