Helping Hand...

Lindsay Giambattista, a 15 year old in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has started a ministry that reaches out to teenage girls living in the foster care system.  ABC News ran a story last night on Lindsay, and since Mrs. Miller's Time grew up in foster care it caught my eye.  Her idea is to give local girls a chance to receive designer clothes at absolutely no cost.  It is her plan to one day have a similar store in all 50 states.

With everything going on in the world, it was refreshing to see this kind of story in the news.  While ABC News did not mention her faith, or the fact that this charity was used as an outreach ministry, it was evident that Lindsay was a believer and that Taylor's Closet was Christ centered.  The website for Taylor's Closet highlights Matthew 25:36:

I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.

Currently, Taylor's Closet is accepting donations via US Mail, but they are working to put a donation button on the site soon.  If you are looking to make one last year end donation, this looks like a very worthy charity.
