Selma Nonprofits and Charities

I have been donating to this mission for over 2 years now, and the work they do is amazing. We have so many people right here in our own USA that are hungry and helpless. Edmundite Missions provides above and beyond food, clothing, and other basic necessities so people can survive and maintain their dignity. They are accountable for every penny that they receive. Every gift that is given is acknowledged with a personal letter from director Chad along with stories and testimonies of the work that they do. God Bless this mission

Cemetery Preservation Group Inc. was instrumental in restoring the grave of a neighbor friend's deceased child. Richard and Mary Herndon lost their little, Kimberly Therese Herndon, on January 28, 1959. She was not quite one year old. Her grave marker at New Live Oak Cemetery in Selma, Alabama was hardly readable. Thanks to Doug Buster and others, it was restored to almost new condition. A very worthwhile organization!

I Saw this website and I thought wow, finally people are trying to make a change in this world! I have met people with depression, I have met people that are bipolar, etc. When I introduced them to this website they thanked me 100 times, they told me this website helped them, and I believe it. This website has taught me alot about mental health, and what people's minds are capable of doing. It's crazy, I really enjoy this website! I can't wait to see how it improves, and what it will turn into in the future!

My friend got a new member of her family through this program. A perfect match.

I have worked with AOG for the past year and have found them sensitive to the needs of those they serve. By having first hand experience with mental affliction this organization brings a unique prospective and is well worth your time and money.

ATAP Learning Center has helped my child in such a great way. My son was having problems and failing. The teaches had told me that he needed to be in a special class for slow learners. After 6 months of tutoring and personal touch thru your program, he now has A's and B's in all his classes. Thank you all and he will be back next year.

The growth in the number of children with developmental delays and autism at MGLC have presented new challenges which the staff quickly turned into service opportunities. The teachers are attending training sessions with the Alabama State Dept. of Education and the Regional Autism Network (RAN) at Auburn University. Dr. Doris Hill, Director of the Auburn University RAN has stated that MGLC will be responding to a real need in Dallas County where early intervention is needed and would be extremely valuable to the city and county. Because of this new programming demand and that of its traditional enrollment, MGLC began a search and negotiation for a new and larger facility in late 2018. <br> <br>The most consistent feedback from staff and parents over 10 years was that MGLC needed a safer facility. Unrelenting deterioration at 2601 Marie Foster Street – major roof leaks, an electrical fire and major plumbing leak leaks, among other issues – forced the Board to solicit over $20,000 a year for repairs instead of investing in teacher training and enrichment-programs for the children. <br> <br>Since 2018, MGLC has raised $450,00 to renovate a donated 37,765 square foot school building that includes 18 classrooms, offices, a library, and an auditorium-cafeteria. This building will allow us to serve 200 children and, with the increase in tuition, invest in a Special Education teacher and teacher training and launch a program for children with developmental delays and/or autism. <br> <br>The Director is planning to open in the New McRae-Gaines Learning Center in August, 2021! <br> <br>
