The goal of Relief, Inc. Advocacy is to involve individuals, groups, and organizations with passion, and resources to make a difference in the lives of the Liberian people by supporting/volunteering efforts toward one, or more of the following projects:
ESTABLISHING A CHAPTER
Chapters meet monthly to brainstorm, and plan “how” they will speak up for their selected project. Some chapters meet less often. All chapters look for creative ways to produce funding, and support for the project of their choice. Ideas include Ice Cream Socials, Dessert & Coffee Hour, BBQ Dinner sales, Benefit Dinner, Auction, Walk-a-Thons, etc. Some chapters may receive offerings during special church services, or events focused on their project. Another idea, involves approaching business owners, or charity leagues that have great financial resources, and are in need of a non-profit organization to support. Some chapters host events to gain exposure, financial support and broaden the network.
