Note: Fatherless and Widows are so special to His heart that He instructed a tithe for fatherless and widows every 3rd year. Deut. 26:12
For those who think that tithing was from the Mosaic Law and done away with, please know that Abraham (Long before Mosaic Law) tithed. Gen.14:20, Heb. 7:2.
If our heart is right with Him, we will tithe according to His instructions and hopefully have a heart to give free will offerings above that. He loves a cheerful giver and considers those who don't tithe as robbing Him. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Malachi%203%3A8-18&version=KJV

OUR STORY: The Fatherless and Widows ministry officially incorporated in 2012, has functioned in Israel and began its operations on the Mississippi Gulf Coast in 2014. The origins of the ministry are founded on a Bible verse that states “Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction…” James 1:27. This Bible verse has its own roots digging deep into the pages of scripture showing God’s special encouragements and warnings pertaining to the manner in which we treat and care for fatherless and widows. One might think that more Christian ministries around the world would be called “Fatherless and Widows” than any other name because that is the very definition of “pure religion”, with the inclusion of the rest of that verse “…to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”
We are aware that there are some widows organizations and orphanages around the country/world, but until the creation of this organization, the founder had never seen one titled “Fatherless and Widows”, a direct name straight out of the pages of the Bible that The Creator Himself labeled as true and undefiled religion - a good religion. All through the Bible, fatherless and widows are found together. There are many areas of biblical instruction on how to treat both fatherless and widows and they are almost always found together. This name (Fatherless and Widows) and ministry remained on the founders’ heart for over 15 years until the harvest of 2012, while on the Mountain of Blessing in Israel, he felt a release to get this ministry started.
The organization’s mission is to serve widows, and also children who do not have an active father figure in their lives. The mission of the ministry is to listen to the needs of the fatherless and widows in our community & beyond and respond with practical help that comes from a place in the heart. A priority system is in place. Services may be provided on the basis of need and may be adapted to the needs of the individual. Services for the fatherless may include but are not limited to mentoring, field trips such as career and agricultural tours, educational classes, special events and activities. In addition to educational activities, widows’ services may include anything from a simple phone call or visit on a regular basis to more specific needs like fixing a toilet or helping with an electrical problem. We have a long list of widows to call prior to an incoming hurricane, freeze warnings+ to help to ensure that their needs are taken care of, i.e., transportation, a place to stay, yard clean up, windows taped/covered, etc.. Following up after hurricanes has occurred for those who have needed yard clean up or other necessities.
We expect that the doors will continue to open in the process of responding to needs and with volunteers who have creative ideas in how to serve in a fun, positive and rewarding way. The Fatherless and Widows organization is thankful to the following organizations for having received positive advice, helpful interventions, beneficial partnerships; Woodmen for America, the VFW, Papa John's, Winn Dixie, Froogles, RSVP/Mag Holland, Meals on Wheels, Center for Battered Women, Battered Women's Shelter, Center for Non-Violence, Hope Haven, Disability Connection, The Salvation Army, The Humane Society, Gospel Singers of America, Keesler Federal Credit Union, Youth for Christ, Tuesday Mornings, 1213 Jewelry, HaYovel and many more. We thankful for volunteers such as Becky Ritch, Deb Cummings, Larry Strohm, Janie O'Keefe, The entire O'Keefe family, Linda Hillman, Barb Gaines, Peggy Johnson, Janie Kilgore, Takoda Britton, Kimber Dawson, Tim & Heidi Jackson, Tamara Tisdale and many others for your encouragement, love, time and effort in helping The Lord's ministry to be a success.
