Dear Friend,

I’ve seen a lot of Giving Tuesdays, but this one stands out. It wasn’t just the gifts — it was the spirit behind them, the kindness. Especially this year, when the needs in our community are running deeper and impacting more households.

You didn’t just give, you showed up!

And because of that, a mom who arrived scared and out of options now has a warm room for her family. A veteran worn thin from too many nights outside is finally indoors. An older adult trying to stretch the last of her groceries has real support tonight. Kindness like yours is the part they remember.

For that, and so much more, thank you.

Warmest wishes for the season,

P.S. If Giving Tuesday slipped by and you still want to help, there’s time! Your holiday gift today will still bring food, shelter and hope to families who need it most.

This holiday, be the reason someone finds

hope and strength.
