This Orphan Sunday, join us in the fight against poverty and show your support for vulnerable children around the world!
It's time to show your support and help make a difference in the lives of orphans around the world on Orphan Sunday, November 12. This special day was created to bring attention and raise awareness about the plight of orphaned children globally, many of whom don’t have access to basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing. It’s also an opportunity for communities everywhere to come together in solidarity and express their commitment to ensuring that no child goes without life’s most basic needs. So let’s all join together on this day and make sure every orphan is provided with love, care, and a safe place to call home.
Organize a dinner, movie night, or other event and charge an admission fee for the activity. Donate the proceeds to a local orphanage or organization that supports orphans.
Find a local orphanage and lend your time and talents. This could be anything from teaching classes, helping with chores, providing meals, or even just spending time playing with the kids.
Look through your closet and find items that you no longer need or use. Donate them to an orphanage or organization that supports orphans.
Share your support for orphans on social media, write letters to your local representatives about the importance of assisting orphans, and advocate for change.
Fill care packages with items such as toothpaste, soap, towels, blankets, snacks and other essentials. Deliver them to a local orphanage or organization that supports orphans.
Orphan Sunday is an annual day of prayer and awareness to raise attention to the needs of orphans around the world. By raising this awareness, we can encourage people to take action by fundraising, volunteering or advocating for children in need.
Orphan Sunday not only brings attention to the millions of orphans globally, but also provides a platform for churches, agencies and other organizations to come together and provide support for these vulnerable children. Many churches host special services and events on Orphan Sunday to stand in solidarity with orphans around the world.
One of the most important elements of Orphan Sunday is that it promotes adoption and fosters safe, loving homes for those who have been orphaned. Through awareness campaigns, churches are given opportunities to encourage families to consider adoption or fostering a child in need.
