Back to School Supplies & Clothing Donations Needed for Underprivileged Children
| Posted on July 24, 2017 at 11:05 PM |

 According to the National Retail Federation, the average
family spends almost $700 on children’s clothing, electronics, and back to
school supplies each year. Back to school time can be a burden on many low
income families- especially to those who have to provide clothing for more than
one child. Wouldn’t it be great if back to school shopping was easy and cheap?
Of course it would. The recent budget cuts in education tends to take a big toll
in the classroom, not only are there more students cramming into already crowded
classes, there are fewer supplies to go around. With limited supplies available
some teachers and other parents end up spending their own money to buy pencils,
pens, notebooks, and textbooks for students whose families can’t afford them. The Divine Intervention
& Prevention Foundation also know as (D.I.P.) is a non-profit organization whose core
objective is to educate and empower families to live healthy, holistic lives
without the use of violence as a recourse to solve relationship, personal, and
financial plights is seeking donations to help kids ages 5-17 gear up for
school. (D.I.P.) has
helped over 1,500 families through the Healing Hearts Jax that has lead to the organization’s
program expansion and the kickoff of the #Tools4SchoolJax clothing & school supply giveaway to be held on Saturday August 5 at
10am. To learn more
about the organization visit www.Dipfoundation.org Tools 4 School Jax supports underprivileged students in need
with back to school supplies & clothing to make sure that these kids are
excited about school and have everything they need to succeed. (D.I.P.) hopes that you will choose to
partner in helping children in Duval County return to school with the supplies
they need by bringing donations to: D.I.P. Outreach Charity Suite 2078
Cassat Avenue Jacksonville, FL 32210 The Tools 4 School Jax fundraiser
really can go along way in making the 2017-2018 school year a happier one for
teachers and students alike. Organizations, school groups, businesses, looking
to host a drive for #Tools4SchoolJax or schedule a donation pickup should contact

Everyday
Life can have its way of blindsiding us with the latest uploads on Instagram,

the less fortunate children and families in our communities that suffer from
hunger and abuse. The Divine

D.I.P. Outreach Ministry weekly community empowerment

 Empowerment Tuesdays is a weekly inspirational, experiential,
educational meeting for the community all ages. It gives attendees an opportunity
to worship, fellowship, evaluate themselves based on the message that given. D.I.P. is an educational Outreach ministry for
the prevention of domestic violence, our messages for the empowerment series
are bible based and point out how everyone is subject to becoming an abuser or
being abused. D.I.P. believes that divine healing takes place when we get to
the root that is causing the fruit of bad behavior. This is not a traditional meeting about domestic
violence and abuse simply because those who are abusing or being abused would
not attend unless they were court ordered. However, the power of the Holy
Spirit has and will continue to convict attendees to see that there is a
problem and Jesus is the only One to solve it. We simply have to meet people
where they are to disciple them through the word of God so they may apply it in
every aspect of their life. |

 Did you know that there
is nothing as powerful as a changed mind? You
can change your hair, your clothing, your address, your spouse, your church,
your residence. But if you don’t change your mind the same experience will
perpetuate itself over and over again because everything outwardly changed, but
nothing inwardly changed. "Whatever you hold
in your mind will tend to occur in your life. If you continue to believe as you
have always believed, you will continue to act as you have always acted. If you
continue to act as you have always acted, you will continue to get what you
have always gotten. If you want different results in your life or your work,
all you have to do is change your mind." Divine Intervention

 Chris
Brown has it wrong: The world, at times, isn’t loyal. Society tends to be loyal
to the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Their minds are consumed with
their own problems or scrolling down their Facebook timeline to get a glimpse
of Kim Kardashian’s latest antics. As we enter into the holiday season and sit
at our family dinner tables breaking bread and giving thanks, we can choose to
un-follow society’s lead and ground ourselves into the spirit of giving to our
fellowman in need. During
November and December, stress runs high in most families. Finances are
stretched to buy gifts or to travel to see family members. Seeing those family
members we don’t quite get along with or not being able to see relatives and
friends can add even more stress to a relationship. Excessive alcohol
consumption is usually an added factor at this time of year. Sometimes our
expectations of what should happen compared to what actually happens can give
us the holiday blues. Many of us try to out do ourselves during the holidays
and arguments happen. But what about abuse during the season? How can it be
prevented?On
Sunday, December 21 D.I.P. Foundation will be hosting its 2
Annual Food, Clothing & Toy Giveaway: 712 West Duval Street Jacksonville,
FL 32202 at 2PM. The event’s purpose is
to rally community supporters together in order to ease someone’s pain by bringing
some holiday cheer to needy families in Jacksonville. We all endure our own
challenges in our lives. We go through them so that we may be a beacon of
light to others. Help someone know that there is a light at the end of
the tunnel. Volunteer your time, lend a listening ear and heart, or
donate funds to help the D.I.P. Foundation with its domestic violence
prevention mission.About
D.I.P. Foundation: A local grassroots 501

“Santa Photos to raise funds for charity & “Pic a Fit against violence”

The pressures of celebrating the holidays sometimes causes
tempers to flare, energy levels to soar and arguments to ensue, culminating in
an explosion of domestic violence and abuse. Parties, celebrations and
festivities are everywhere and the temptation for excess can be intoxicating. Alcohol,
drugs, heightened emotions and the wrong combination of family members, are
very often contributing factors in violent holiday explosions. In fact, the
holiday season can be an exceptionally tough emotional period for many domestic
violence victims, even children. Most loving mothers will do whatever is
necessary to create a fun and festive holiday environment for her children,
however, for children living in a home where violence occurs, very often,
Christmas represents a prolonged period of trepidation due to the anticipation
of violence. D.I.P. Foundation is anon-profit that is working to
prevent and end domestic violence by developing innovative programs and events that:
“On Saturday, December 13, & Sunday
December 14 from 1 – 4pm, D.I.P. Foundation invites children
to have their pictures taken with Santa Claus! Parents will be pleased to
donate just $5 for a professional 4”x6” ready- to-display portrait at D.I.P.
Foundation Crime Prevention Studio which is located at 5301 Norwood Avenue. Pic A Fit Against violence while
celebrating the holiday season with a festive event for the whole family; free
egg nog & cookies will be served.” Upcoming Event:Free Food, Clothing, Toy Drive December 21 2PM 712 W. Duval
St Volunteers are
encouraged to join D.I.P. Foundation with its prevention of domestic violence mission
and supporting those affected by it. For more information visit: www.Dipfoundation,org to make a donation contact Angel Bree’ 904
