Adult Care Center of Roanoke Valley ⇨
Adult Care Center of Roanoke Valley (ACCRV) is an alternative for dependent adults who are unable to stay
at home alone or need socialization and motivation during the day. Work schedules and other family responsibilities
often make it impossible for caregivers to stay at home and to provide necessary care. The ACCRV program can delay the
transition to a long-term care facility for individuals who may have health issues that require professional care
and supervision. Caregivers who work are allowed the opportunity to fulfill their responsibilities to their employers
and to not worry about leaving their family members at home unattended.
Kazim Shriners ⇨
The Kazim Shriners (KS) has a primary mission to support Shriners Children's Hospitals. The Shriners
Children's Hospitals treat all children without regard to any family's ability to pay. They offer care
for a range of orthopedic issues, as well as care for burn injuries, craniofacial conditions, spine care
and spinal cord injuries, colorectal and gastrointestinal care and sports medicine. Their experienced,
innovative and dedicated teams work together to provide treatment to help each patient meet their goals
and reach their full potential.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace ⇨
Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP) believes all children deserve a safe, comfortable place to lay their heads. In the
Roanoke and New River Valleys, too many boys and girls go without a bed. These children must sleep on couches,
blankets and even floors, and this can affect their happiness and health. That is where SHP fills a need. They are a
group of volunteers dedicated to building, assembling and delivering high-quality bunk beds to children and families
in need. At SHP, they believe that a bed is a basic need for the proper physical, emotional and mental support that a
child needs. There are few organizations that address this essential need, and SHP is one of those organizations. As
such, if children need a bed, SHP wants to be sure they are provided.
The Least of These Ministry ⇨
The Least of These Ministry (TLTM) is an organization that strives to make a positive impact in the lives of the
homeless community in the Roanoke Valley. Its mission is to meet men and women living on the streets and to serve
them with spiritual, physical and emotional support. There are many circumstances that can cause homelessness, such
as job loss, natural disasters and mental illness. In addition, many homeless people receive disability checks, but
their income isn't enough to cover minimum living expenses. Regardless of the reason for their living situation, TLTM
views all people as worthy to be served. The services provided by TLTM include assisting in finding housing, meeting
immediate needs on the streets and providing a place to improve hygiene.
