Drive: Supporting "Tienda el Tio"
Host a Drive and Make a Difference
At Uplifting Ministries, we believe in the power of community and the impact we can have when we come together for a common cause. We invite individuals and churches to join us in hosting a drive one month out of the year to support our store, "Tienda El Tio", located on our property in Guatemala. By participating in this initiative, you will be directly contributing to the well-being of local communities and helping to sustain our ministry.

How Your Contributions Help

The proceeds from "Tienda El Tio" are crucial for the self-sustainability of Uplifting Ministries. By selling these donated items, we generate funds that support our various outreach programs and initiatives.
