Miracle Hill Ministries, a service provider for homeless children and adults based in Greenville, announced March 17 it raised $500,000 at its annual fundraising banquet March 15 at the Greenville Convention Center.
Funds from the banquet will be used to support the organization’s various programs, including:
- Four rescue missions
- Two addiction recovery programs
- 16 transitional housing facilities
- A foster care community
- A foster care program
- A food ministry distribution center
- Eight thrift stores
- An auto sales operation
“For 85 years Miracle Hill has had the biblical mandate to minister to the poor, the hurting, and the orphans,” Miracle Hill Ministries President and CEO Ryan Duerk said during the event. “Standing firm on the gospel, we decided to stop all government funding starting July 1, 2021. Thereby, we strive to continue fulfilling our mission to impact the most vulnerable with the truth of Jesus Christ.”
The event also featured three stories of the organization’s impact on individuals and families, including:
- A family’s foster care and adoption journey
- A program graduate’s story of freedom from substance abuse
- A mother reunited with her daughters after struggling with homelessness
In 2021, Miracle Hill served 3,176 men, women and children, provided over 10,000 emergency shelter beds and served 319,939 meals throughout its programs.
