Funding a Small Revolution of Kindness
What is a $20 bill worth?
For many of us, it represents a good meal at our
favorite restaurant. At Common Heart it is a family fed for a week! Just $20
per month provides a family of four a big box of nonperishibles, 8-10 pounds of
meat, and 3-4 bags of fresh produce, bread and baked goods.
What can we do with $220?
So far this heating season, we kept 13 families
warm by paying their heating bill. On
average, it took just $220 per family to keep the heat on!
What will we do with $800?
Our Kindness Connects! Initiative will bring on
two part-time employees to focus on developing resources for families in
need.
$800 will pay the salaries of these two people for
a month. Our “Lead Ally” will work
directly with our neighbors in need to connect them with resources to bridge
the gap and transform their lives. Our “CONNECTS Manager” will work directly
with local churches to help them develop their ministries to transform our community
through the Charitas Network.
$800 will directly impact the lives of our most
vulnerable seniors, single parents, people with disabilities, unemployed and
those in crisis by connecting them with caring people who will love and
serve them!
- 1,000 families will be fed for a week.
- Our Charitas Network will be fully functional and mobilize 20 churches to serve an estimated 200 of our neighbors in need.
