supporting SMI

tHROUGH online giving

Scoop Ministries  is on the move by the grace of God,  because of friends like you. Together we can reach out to all women in our community and grow this ministry for the Glory of our God! 


When you give to SMI, you bless not only women who need the Lord, but a part of the proceeds goes  toward the "Flavors of Hope" grant program. These grants help women who may be in a short-term financial crisis. All donations to date, have helped us bless 140 women and 10 organizations, with $60,701 since SMI was founded in 2008. The Flavors-of-Hope Grants were added in 2012, increasing SMIs ability to provide for women in short-term financial crisis.


Offerings are simple with our website.

There is also information below for mail-in donations. Scroll for your preferred method. Scoop Ministries, Inc. is a nonprofit, so your gift is tax deductible. If you have a church or business, and are thinking of donating, please see our sponsorships page.

RECURRING GIFTS FOR SMI

God blesses the cheerful giver

2 Corinthians 9:6-7: Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

 

You can click on the easy-giving button below, and pick your amount and giving preferences--either as a one time gift, or recurring, monthly giving. Any amount helps us as a nonprofit. From those who would prayerfully give more, to those who can only give a small amount per month, we thank you for blessing SMI with your sacrificial giving! Your donations help women like this young lady, in doing things like covering for bills during challenging times, or changing jobs and making car payments. Pray about how much you can give

They go to women on a case by case basis, either those who are homeless or maybe just struggling to meet their personal needs during a challenging time. It is a labor of love envisioned by Lorri "Lo Lo's" best friend Wanda Thompson. You will have the option to do a one-time gift or recurring donations by clicking on the recurring tab. Thank you so much for giving to Lo Lo's Love Bags!

Lo Lo's Love Bags ONE-TIME gifts

gifts can be given annually or when the time is good for you

Lorri was the kind of gal who always said we were "Better together". She served on SMI's board as secretary, worked full-time and was a very loving mom and wife. She knew that giving is sometimes a hard thing, and appreciated time spent as well as donations. We appreciate any amount you can give whether it's a one-time gift, once a year, or once a month. If you can come back and bless another sister when they need it most--especially with a bag of personal items such as toiletries, we can hear Lo Lo saying from heaven, "God bless you because we're better together!" 

LoLo's Love Bags by DONATIONS IN KIND

gifts can be donated @ our events, both annual and small

We have been putting LoLo's Love Bags together since 2019 in honor of our dear friend and former board member Lorri Smith. She had such a heart for God and always served with a smile. The year prior to her passing, she even went on a missions trip to Haiti to serve at God's Littlest Angels Haitian Baby Ministry and Orphanage. So when the idea arose to provide women in need with bags of toiletries and skin-care items, LoLo's Lovebags was born. Please see the page for information on the ministry, or download the list of items that you can donate when you come to our events, or make a donation on one of the links below, either recurring/automatic donations or a one-time gift. 


Donations for HSS Bible Study Books

We ask for donations for the Bible study reference books, and if you can bless another sister who could use a little help in obtaining her book, we're all doubly blessed. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.--Matthew 6:21 NIV
