When the economy is impacted, companies pull back from charity giving. These are the challenges that organizations like Chosen 300 face on a daily basis. Therefore, we are working overtime to bring in the resources needed to help individuals get a better start in life. Keep in mind, We Can’t Do This Alone. We need your help to make a difference in our communities.
