At Branch Benefits Consultants, community is essential. A community provides a support network and opportunities to develop relationships. That's why we admire the work that the Deaconess Foundation does. The Deaconess Foundation is a Christian-based organization that supports those in need in the local community. The organization is committed to assisting and advocating for those facing economic, social, and spiritual challenges. The Foundation offers Bible studies, prayer groups, and other activities promoting community and belonging. It also provides funding for educational and vocational opportunities to help community members become self-sufficient.

Children are just at the beginning of their lives, and what they go through during these years molds their future. Since they’re still being formed into who they will be as adults, they absorb everything around them. And without the proper environment, they’re not able to grow to be the best version of themselves. Not having the correct support system and education can truly make or break them.

Every year, thousands of teenagers are found homeless in the United States alone. These kids have been abandoned, abused, neglected, and deprived of a loving home.

According to The Postsecondary National Policy Institute, while black students have made enrollment gains in higher education over the past two decades, there has been less progress in closing the degree attainment gap.

26% of grown-ups in the United States have some disability. According to the CDC, 1 in 4 adults has a special need. Going through life with a disability doesn’t mean that the day-to-day can’t be fun. People with special needs might need a little help going through their regular day, but that doesn’t mean that it can’t be entertaining, fun, and productive! We want to help people see this!

Could you imagine coming home to your family knowing you were about to be evicted the next day? Or knowing you were losing the fight to an addiction that threatens any possibility of a future? Many face these harsh realities every day, and most are the result of generational effects of trauma.

Our agency is on a mission to help nurture the potential of every child and teen right here in our community. For the next 90 days, we are proud to be directing all donations raised through our Rewards Program to the Quiet Storm Foundation.

The Branch Benefits Consultants is dedicated to impacting our community by doing what we can to help others Live Well and Thrive. We are committed to being Agents of Change.
