USA (MNN) ― In 2008, Bethany Christian Services placed 1,694 children with their adoptive families. They hope to continue this legacy with older kids in Michigan who need homes. That's why they're teaming up with ABC's West Michigan affiliate and Choice One Banks to raise money and awareness.
"Spare the Change" is a campaign sponsored by WZZM 13 and Choice One Banks. Donations made to the campaign will help Bethany place older kids and teens in foster care with families. Bethany is featured on WZZM's news broadcasts and local talk show, Take 5. The host of Take 5 is an adoptive mom who also serves on Bethany's National Board.
This campaign is part of "Hero Central," WZZM's effort to inspire regular people in West Michigan to help those in need. By telling stories about everyday heroes, WZZM hopes to raise up an "army" of people to address the needs of the community.
"Spare the Change" runs through September 12. You can donate at any of the Choice One Banks in West Michigan, or make an online donation by clicking here.
