The Fall Outreach Campaign is undertaken annually to increase awareness of our mission, recruit new members, and solicit donations. To kick off this year’s efforts, senior leadership addressed the congregations at Holy Family Church and St. Irene’s Church on the September 27-28. Conference members were available after Mass to provide additional information. The following weekend, a one-page flyer was placed in the church bulletin to continue to spread the message:
- Who we are – a group of 35 active volunteers whose goal is to provide short-term emergency financial assistance to Concord Carlisle neighbors. Our Conference is fully staffed by volunteers.
- Who we help – local households all ages, races, faith backgrounds, and family situations.
- Why we need donations – we help about 70 families a year and we spend close to $120,000 a year. We depend upon donations to meet this level of need.
The Conference President published a letter in the Concord Bridge Newspaper describing the mission of our organization and extending the outreach to all of Concord.
In addition, new donation boxes were installed at St. Irene’s Church.
Donations will be doubled up to $25,000: Through the generosity of our volunteers, the first
$25,000 donated will be doubled. Our work is totally reliant on private donations. Donations
enable us to quickly respond to requests for assistance in paying critical household bills. Please
consider donating to this worthy cause. We use 99% of the money raised to help those in need.
