HOMELESS STUDENT PROGRAM
$10.00
Your monthly donation helps ensure that a child experiencing housing instability can receive personal hygiene products, laundry detergent, school supplies, and waived fees for eligible school-break camps.
Instead of spending the entire day in a hotel room when school is not in session, parents may enroll their children in one of the Adell Foundation’s participating host-site day programs, as space and grant funding allow.
Your support gives youth access to a safe, supervised environment where they can participate in educational activities, recreation, meals, and positive social experiences. Please choose re-curring payment.

Official partnership Statement
Partnership with Lamad University
The Adell Foundation is honored to partner with Lamad University and Lamad University's School of Coaching. Developing professional coaching skills is a priceless asset for therapists, social workers, educators, clergy, nonprofit staff, and anyone in leadership or supervisory roles. Coaching enhances communication, accountability, and impact — qualities that strengthen both ministry and marketplace excellence.
We applaud the remarkable progress Lamad University has made over the past nine years in advancing quality religious education and professional development. The university continues to operate with transparency and dedication as it moves through the federal accreditation process — a rigorous and voluntary undertaking designed to validate academic and operational excellence.
For clarity, the Bible college accreditation process is a self-imposed, voluntary review that begins with internal evaluation, followed by peer review by qualified educators from other institutions. Schools must be actively operating to demonstrate their commitment to both their mission and educational integrity. The purpose of accreditation is not competition — it is accountability, ensuring that institutions meet defined academic, financial, and ethical standards.
Lamad University remains committed to providing a biblically grounded, high-quality education that equips leaders for effective service and purpose-driven success.
At The Adell Foundation, we celebrate progress, not comparison. We honor every institution — accredited or in process — that is doing the work to empower people through faith, education, and excellence.
