That does not mean that you can't contribute or get involved to Make a Difference in the lives of so many others! You can still donate and impact so many lives! Please see the donation instructions to the right of this post.
Keep an eye out Monday for the final amount we raised during $40,000 in 40 Days. I think it will be very heart warming and surprising especially in light of these very challenging economic times!
One of the things I learned this year (and saw a bit of it last year) was how much you can affect people's lives! Not only the homeless and hungry but also the more than 800 people that donated their time, money, energy, products and services! They all had an amazing holiday season because helped make a difference for so many people struggling right now. The campaign grew larger than life and it was amazing to see it in action!
We could definitely not have even raised a fraction of what we did without the help of our core fundraising team this year... Tuesday Nunes, Ruth Reynolds, Grant Reynolds, Jessica Shew, Becca Harvey, Jason Hartman, Nate Secor, Jimmy Weeks, Didi Ariola and Jessica Young. There are so many more people that contributed amazingly to this event that I will be thanking personally over the next weeks as this post would go on for days and days if I didn't!
For 2010 I am hooked! We will expand the Fundraising campaign and include Awareness to the strategic Initiative and make it a year long commitment versus just 40 days! There are so many great ideas that we can implement to make sure that the Someone Cares Soup Kitchen never has to do another emergency plea to the public (like last year... click here for story). We also want to ensure that everybody in the community knows about the amazing work that the Someone Cares does on a daily basis! More details to follow in the next few weeks! :)
For now Happy New Year and I can't wait until Monday to announce the final result of the $40,000 in 40 Days campaign!
