What is the Spivey Hill Challenge?

Shine On is a charity dedicated to serving those in Young and Jack Counties who have been victims of domestic violence, homelessness, addiction rehabilitation, and are in need of help. Shine On’s mission is to provide a Christ-based atmosphere and a safe environment to enable healing, restoration, and a transition back into the community. Last year Shine On provided financial help in a number of ways, including rent and deposits for 12 individuals, hotel stays for 3, car repairs for 4, legal fees for 3, counseling fees for 7 (both women and children), and even 7 scholarships for graduating seniors affected by these circumstances. Also provided were numerous practical needs like groceries, transportation, medical needs, utility payments, clothing, and even a dance recital costume. Many women and children were aided as they forged ahead to a better life.

Garments of Grace, a charity that is near and dear to the Street family’s hearts, provides brand-new clothing with the tags still attached for a “shopping” environment to needy children in Graham. GOG serves around 200 kids per year, predominantly in the months of July and August. Their mission is to help children receive new clothing and witness it transcend into something bigger, like a sense of self-worth and vibrance that shines outward into their classrooms, schools and community.

The Graham Friends of The Arc is a nonprofit organization that was formed to create a location whereby The Arc of Wichita County could open and operate Day Habilitation and transportation programs for Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled teens and adults. Already in operation at a rented location, we’re busting at the seams while awaiting completed renovations of our new digs at 611 South Street! Community outings, service events, parties, trips and more fun await our current and expanding membership! The Graham location is named The Hero House.
