Our Charitable Initiatives
At Barnett Financial & Tax, we care about helping to make the world a better place for our clients, friends, and family. That’s why we choose to donate our resources and volunteer our time at a number of charities and nonprofit organizations throughout the year. Together with our employees and clients, we engage with several charities to make an impact on our community. Click below for more information on some of the charities we have worked with.
Carriage Town Ministries:
For those who are hungry, we provide something to eat; for those who are thirsty, something to drink. For those who need a place to stay, we provide a home; for those who need clothing, a coat to keep them warm. And for those who are sick, a free-walk in clinic is provided each week. The gospel of Christ is taught daily through word, deed, devotionals and church service. In addition to the CTM café, clothing distribution and educational opportunities, residents are given the chance to create a Personal Success Plan. This is a goal-oriented program that enables individuals to grow spiritually, academically, and vocationally through mentoring, work-experience, and life skills.
Children’s Miracle Network:
Children’s Miracle Network is a unique organization that is committed to putting children first in all that is done. Contributions to Children’s Miracle Network benefit an array of pediatric programs and services and it impacts young lives battling virtually every type of childhood illness and injury. Whether investing in the life of a premature infant whose weight is measured in grams rather than ounces, or preserving the dreams of a teenager whose hopes are threatened by the malignancy of cancer, Children’s Miracle Network is dedicated to our most precious resource ~ the health and happiness of children in our area.
