BIG GIVE
The Big Give is an annual campaign that helps us reach neighbors near and far, offering help and hope to those who need it most. The initiative is life-breathing for recipients. It can be the difference between nourishment and starvation, flourishing and falling behind. Join us, as we partner with vital organizations that align with our mission and vision.
Since 2006 through the Big Give, Cove Church has donated more than $2.37 million to community and global causes committed to spreading God’s love and healing, tackling issues like human trafficking, poverty and addiction. This year, our goal is to raise $200,000 between now and January 31, 2022.
Our two beneficiaries of the 2021 Big Give are the Huntsville Inner City Learning Center and Venezuela Now. Cove Church will equally split campaign funds raised between the two organizations.

Huntsville Inner City Learning Center
Local Partner
Who they are
From the comfort of our home, it may be hard to imagine this kind of uncertainty: How do I make sure my children are getting the education and support they need while I work to make ends meet? The Huntsville Inner City Learning Center is stepping in to help local children whose families need assistance after the bell rings. Each week, volunteers mentor 75 Huntsville kids (K-8), providing after-school care and education through exercise, snacks, gardening, tutoring and sharing the love of Christ. Stepping into the building, you immediately feel God’s work at hand, but organizers need more space. We’re asking you to make room in your heart for this worthy cause. Space is currently tight, but the work here is limitless. Your giving could allow the Learning Center to take on high school students and open spots for the dozens of kids on their waiting list.
The Learning Center’s mission is to grow its students into Christ-like, lifelong learners and responsible citizens through after-school programs focusing on Biblical knowledge, mentorship and academic support.

Venezuela Now, Crate Ministry
Global Partner
Who they are
Hunger is prevalent. Grocery shelves are empty. The minimum wage is down to the equivalent of $1 USD. Mothers are dying and their babies are suffering. That’s the harsh reality of life for many Venezuelans. Our global recipient, Venezuela Now, has taken action to help those who are struggling to meet the most basic of needs. Without this nonprofit’s help, many people, including children and the elderly, are forced to go without food and medical care.
By supporting the Crate Ministry, Cove Church can safely provide food and medicine for those in the most vulnerable situations, but it’s not cheap. As inflation impacts the world, the cost to ship these crates and what’s inside is high. Formula to treat 50 compromised infants a month is $4,000 alone. In addition to food, these containers house over-the-counter and prescription medicine and vaccines and include medical supplies like disinfectants and PPE.
Your gift to the Crate Ministry will allow Venezuela Now to feed and serve more people, while continuing to share the Gospel and provide hope to those in despair.
Stats
These statistics provided by Venezuela Now explain why the organization has stepped in to help:
• Caracas, Venezuela’s capital city, has the highest murder rate in the world.
• Hospitals are without electricity, medicine or safe water.
• Eighty percent of Venezuela’s residents do not know Christ.
• Sixty percent of Venezuela’s people live in poverty.
