2011 - A Year to Remember!

Dear Friends,

It's almost time to sing The New Year's Song - the one about Auld Lang Syne. Did you know those strange words mean "the good old days"?

With the clock ticking towards 2012, I'm sending this email to thank you for your help in making 2011 a year of "good old days". While we faced many challenges, many lives were changed and that makes all the challenges worthwhile!

We couldn't have supplied 100,000 nutritious meals, offered 17,000 safe shelter beds, distributed 80,000 items of clothing, provided 62,480 hours of work training ... and more .. without your support. I really can't thank you enough.

Because you care, I want to invite you to make one last life-changing donation for the year to give help and hope to even more people in our neighborhoods. And there's still time to secure one more tax deduction for 2011. Your gift will help us end one year and begin another ... strong.

Thank you!

Ron Willoughby, Executive Director/CEO
