Letter to the editor: Seven Ministries invites community to 11th annual Scholarship Walk-a-Thon
letter to editor new

Editor:

Seven Ministries of Liberty County, Inc. is the proud sponsor of the 11th Annual Jackie Gilliard- Henderson Memorial Scholarship Walk-a-Thon. The funds raised will be used to award scholarships to graduating seniors from Liberty County’s public high schools who choose to further their education by attending college or technical school in the summer/fall of 2023. Additional funds will help support the organization’s other programs 

The 4.5-mile “Mother’s Day Walk” is scheduled for May 13, 2023. We will meet at 6:30 a.m. at Rebecca’s Place across from First Calvary Missionary Baptist (corner of Rebecca Street and Edelle Osgood Avenue) for registration and commence walking precisely at 7 a.m. This year our co-grand marshals will be from Fire and Emergency Services. We’re pleased to have Liberty County Director of Emergency Management Robert Dodd, EMS Director Crystal Hensler, Liberty County Fire Chief Brian Darby, 911 Director Erica Smith, Hinesville Fire Chief Robert Kitchings, Walthourville Fire Chief John Pittman, Midway Fire Chief Joe Feinhals, and Riceboro Fire Chief Dennis Fitzgerald.

Seven Ministries (a 501c3 nonprofit organization) was incorporated in 2012 and offers a variety of programs that benefit the community. Last year we awarded $4,000 in scholarships, donated nearly $7,000 in gifts to senior citizens, and sponsored a Back-to-School Rally at Rebecca’s Place in Hinesville where we passed out over $3,800 in school supplies. We also support the local Manna House, homeless organizations, food banks, and other charitable causes.

You can participate by walking and/or making monetary tax-deductible donations. This year we’re asking participants over 21 years old to donate $20, and participants from ages 16–20 to donate $10. (There is no fee for children under 15 years old.) Our mailing address is 531 Azalea St., Hinesville, GA 31313. Parking is available at Hineshaw Elementary School.

Please join us for this worthy cause.

Thanks and God bless,

Gary Gilliard, President/CEO Seven Ministries of Liberty County, Inc.
