Tyler, TX (PRWEB) September 21, 2014 -- The employees of Mentoring Minds have a spirit to serve and share. It’s more than just part of a mission statement or policy; it’s actually part of the Mentoring Minds’ ethos. Because of a shared passion for helping others, Mentoring Minds created a program for service called MindSHARE. MindSHARE encourages the team at Mentoring Minds to be active members and volunteers in the community. Employee-nominated organizations are evaluated by the employee-based MindSHARE committee on several factors such as employee involvement and organizational reach. Recently, the MindSHARE committee awarded a total of $5000 to four organizations to assist the non-profits’ missions.
Awards were given to:
• Casa Esperanza – House of Hope is an independent non-profit home that houses families who are referred to Albuquerque, NM for cancer treatment, regardless of their financial situation. More information can be found at http://www.casanm.org.
• Salvation Army, a local chapter of a national organization, intends to provide musical instruments for the children in their After-School Program. Visit http://www.salvationarmy.org for more information.
• Gospel for Asia is an international organization which seeks to train and send national missionaries to reach out into areas where the Good News of Jesus Christ has not yet been heard as well as bring aid to the people in the Eastern Hemisphere.
