Ways to Give

SECOM relies on you for support. SECOM provides free food and support connecting to community exercises, free health services, and free preschool for our neighbors.  To provide these services, we depend on private financial support from individuals, businesses, foundations, community groups and churches. We are an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization.

​Honor A Loved One
Is there an individual who has positively impacted your life? Consider a gift as a memorial or to honor a wedding, birthday, anniversary, graduation or other special occasion.  A card will be sent to whomever you choose to acknowledge your gift.

United Way Workplace Campaigns
Many companies in West Michigan participate in Heart of West Michigan United Way's Annual Campaign.  Your designated gift of $50 or more will continue to build help and hope in Kent County in new ways, including educational programs tailored to the learning needs of preschool students and their parents, pantry services that empower families, and opportunities for low income families to use their skills and talents to earn income; simply check "restrict my contribution," and write South End Community Outreach Ministries on the agency name line .  

Ask your employer for a pledge form, or download the 2017 United Way Campaign pledge form here.
