There’s a world of difference between hopeless and hopeful.
Every day, every kind deed, every helping hand, helps build a bridge from one to the other.
Every little bit we all do to help homeless families stay together and get back on their feet again
brings hope and healing, and helps strengthen our community.
Your tax-deductible gift this holiday season will help FESCO provide a warm, secure and caring Shelter and Transitional Housing environment; nourishing meals; professional children's and family counseling; life skills education in parenting, budgeting and money management, goal-setting, health and nutrition, employment and housing assistance, and other essential services. These are the resources that help homeless families with children get back on their feet again, and back into their own homes.
Hope and healing are precious things. It may be hard to find "extra" dollars at this time of year, but here are some painless ways you can convert existing money into a donation to give a hand up to homeless families with children at FESCO. Relax, enjoy bringing hope and healing, and write a check for...
| $25 | ...instead of buying that new hardback best-seller and having it collect dust after you've read it, borrow it from the library and contribute your savings to FESCO. |
| $50 | ...instead of going out for a dinner for two, provide nourishing meals for a parent and child for a week. |
| $100 | ...instead of sending traditional fruitcakes to your faraway relatives, donate in their name, and FESCO will send them a nice acknowledgement note. |
| $300 | ...instead of two designer coffees in 2005, pledge $25 a month for a year. |
| $500 | ...just because it's the end of the year and their is still time to make a charitable contribution this tax year. |
| $____ | ...your own amount, for your own special reasons. |
Thank you for helping helping strengthen our community by giving Hope to homeless families with children at FESCO. Working together, we are making a difference.
