White Dove Project
With the COVID-19 pandemic quickly spreading through our neighborhoods, we understand difficult times are among us all. Our life, as we know it, has been changed indefinitely due to this crisis. Many are enduring hardships, some more than others. We are being separated from our families and friends in a time when we need them the most. We have loved ones in assisted-livingfacilities, hospitals, and other places where no visitors are allowed. We, ourselves, are sheltered, and some are in mandatory lockdown. This, for some, can be lonely at a time when love and compassion means the most to many.
We at ARC Ministries (Artist reaching for Christ) want to share our love and compassion during this time, through our newly-founded “White Dove Project”. We will be sending a small gift to those in need, in hopes to spread a little sunshine and bring a smile to someone during these difficult days. We will begin sending out as early as next week.
The packages will contain a small works of art (5x7 or smaller) donated by a local artist, along with a letter and personal hand written note or card to the individual who will be receiving it. Any artist that would like to participate should contact Wendy Shelley at wjshelley08@yahoo.com
Our first focus will begin in the immediate areas of Horry County (where allowed) in the nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, hospitals (if possible), and the elderly. We have worked closely with many of these facilities over the years, as we stand dedicated. Home health workers will be a great vehicle for us. We will not limit to these areas, and we will expand as resources allow us. Our hope, in the near future, is to be able send to individuals that are home alone, kids in special situations, detention facilities, etc.
Our plans are to send these gifts/packages through the mail or with individual employees who are willing to carry them for us. We are making sure we take sanitary precautions in doing so, through disinfecting all items in the packages and handling each item with clean gloves.
Being Christ-centered, we seek to glorify and honor God through art with gifts, talents, and passion He has given us.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
John 13:35
