Shelby Cares:
Orange Mound Outreach Ministries

Posted & filed under Community Outreach, Entertainment, Events, Ministry, Seasonal.

Shelby Systems has been helping to support the local ministry work of Orange Mound Outreach Ministries for several years now. This year the Shelby Cares Committee really stepped up their game. All the kids at OMOM received new bikes for Christmas and they were so excited, but in the end, it was the Shelby employees who received the biggest blessing. Events Manager Karen Bishop explains what the Shelby Cares team has done in the past to support OMOM and why they chose to support them again this year. Marketing and Promotions Manager Hal Hallum gives us the behind the scenes story of what creative ideas were used to reach our donation goal and how that money was used. Watch the joy on the children's faces as they ride their new Christmas bikes. And make sure to watch the end of the video to see what OMOM is doing to change our city in the name of Jesus.
