Contribute by giving Gift Cards:  All of our students participate in an incentive program, where they earn points for participation, leadership, and good grades. Our parents too, earn incentive points through volunteer hours at the program. As such, we are always on the lookout for gift cards to stores like Wal*Mart, Food Lion, and Bi-Lo to honor our students and parents.

Contribute Through ABW Dollar Days:  How does this work?  You can make a donation to support the after school program in denominations of $1.  You can donate $1 for each member of your family, church member, your age, etc.  For example, if you donate $1 for the number of people that attend your church, and your church has 65 members, then you would donate $65.  Please let your friends and family know about this great way to support A Better World.  All checks are made payable to A Better World.  Please send your donation to:
