Author Terri Reed & Northwest Children’s Outreach
Today my guest is Love Inspired Romance Author Terri Reed. She has a special charity that she wants to tell about. Here’s Terri:
“Northwest Children’s Outreach: Standing in the Gap for Children in Need
Our Mission
“We stand in the gap between poverty and caring agencies
with resources to help children.”
This mission statement was inspired by Ezekiel 22:30 (NKJV):
“…I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land…”

Several years ago I met a woman at church, a mom with four children of her own, who co-founded a ministry to help supply children in the Portland, Oregon/Vancouver, Washington area with basic needs. I immediately wanted to learn more.
Founded in 2001, this organization collects donated gently used and new items such as Diapers, Clothing-newborn to teen, Formula, New Cribs, New Car Seas, Hygiene Products, Toys and any other items children need, to be given to poverty stricken children through care giving agency. Volunteers sort and stock the shelves at the four warehouses, pack orders specific for a child depending on the child’s age and needs. Then the care giving agency retrieves the bag of items to give directly to the child’s family.
Many schools and churches in the Portland/Vancouver area have also come alongside Northwest Children’s Outreach.
Not only do I believe this non-profit organization to be a worthwhile endeavor, but my children gladly donate the clothes they’ve out grown and the toys they no longer play with. We also go shopping to purchase other items of need and as a family go to the centers to help bag orders.–Terri”
