Hi everyone, First of all, we want to thank all you wonderful Charitable Deeds members, Churches, Businesses, Organizations, and the Public for the donations and the help that you give to Charitable Deeds. Without this support, we would not be able to help as many people as we do.
God bless you all!
Let’s just stop for now, and pray for those on our prayer chain. If you know of anyone that needs added or deleted please contact Bobbi @ 814-782-3733.
*What a blind person can see, and what a deaf person can hear…… KINDNESS *
That’s all for now, Just remember you are still our favorite people
God Bless you all – Keep smiling,
John Kerle (814)221-9966

God bless you all!

- We are in the middle of our Winter Utility Campaign that started on October 1st. Being the winter weather is turning cold we have people in 3 counties – Clarion, Venango, and Forest, flocking in here to get help with their utilities. With the end of the year coming up and you would like to make a donation to a charity that gives back 100 percent back to the community, then consider Charitable Deeds. If any trust, foundation, or other charity that would like to send us a grant, we can distribute it in their name, and send back an application for each family that we helped. We would like to have banks, businesses, and factories help us with this Utility Campaign.
Let’s just stop for now, and pray for those on our prayer chain. If you know of anyone that needs added or deleted please contact Bobbi @ 814-782-3733.
