2011 Yearly Review The Bell Family Foundation is happy to announce that in 2011, we were able to accomplish more than in any other year. We want to thank all donors and volunteers that helped us meet our mission of serving the very "least of these" in our world: suffering children. We started The Bell Family Foundation in 2005 in the hopes that we could make a difference in the lives of people that we encountered on a regular basis. With so many charities out there raising money and working on the "big stuff" (cancer, heart disease, etc.) we encountered people who just needed a hand. People who knew about sick kids in Africa who hadn't seen a doctor in years, who were drinking dirty water and had a broken well, who had special needs and needed special tutoring. We supported youth here in Texas who needed school supplies, medical supplies, and mentorship. We look to follow the example of Jesus when he calls us in Ephesians 2:10; "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." In 2011, we donated more than $78,000 to worthy causes and people that either directly helped children in need, ran ministries that helped children, or underwent projects that directly affected the well-being of children. 100% of funds donated went to our projects with our administration and leadership provided through time donations. |
In 2011 these areas were positively affected:
