Adriel
relies on volunteers to help with our Annual Quilt Auction, Golf Scrambles,
various service projects throughout the year and in countless other ways.
Our volunteers come in a variety of different ages, genders, skills and
experiences. Youth groups, Bible schools, Sunday school classes, community
groups and individuals all give their time generously to benefit the troubled
children that we serve. If you would like more information about volunteering
at Adriel, please contact Terri McGarry at (937) 465-0010 ext 113 or tmcgarry@adriel.org.

Kits
for Kids Project
Many youth arrive at Adriel with only the shirt on their back. Some come
carrying their
belongings in trash bags. We have, over the years, made an effort to improve
the lives of
the children that pass through our doors in many ways. One way is that
we give every
child that comes into our residential and foster care services a duffel
bag. This is a nice,
large bag which contains a comforter (donated by our church friends),
and a teddy bear
kit. These items are theirs to keep. Many churches, youth groups, organizations
and
individuals help with these much needed kits. If you would like to help,
the kits we use
are listed below:
