Give Back to Flint

If you are looking to help out Flint with a donation of either time or money this holiday season, there are several worthy organizations working to make Flint a better place. Here are just a few that readers have suggested. This is in no way a definitive list of worthy Flint charities, so feel free to pass along others in the comment section.

• The North End Soup Kitchen (NESC) sponsored by Catholic Charities

• Carriage Town Mission

• Whaley Children's Center

• The Flint Club

• St. Francis Prayer Center, founded by Sister Joanne Chiaverini, who died this summer. I couldn't find a website, but here's the contact info:

Volunteer to help Flint kids

Are you a Flint Expatriate looking for a way to help Flint? The Flint Club has a pen pal mentoring program that will match you with a kid in Flint. I've signed up and there are still plenty of spots available, but they need to fill them quickly.

The Youth of Genesee County NEED YOU

Flint Club's Pen Pal mentor program is still in need of 50 mentors. We are asking you to assist us as we strive to recruit individuals that are willing to invest ten minutes a week in an elementary student.

If you are interested please contact Sonyita Scales, Program Director via email at sonyita@flintclub.org or by calling 810-233-5468.
