Annual Appeal
These past few months have been tough around our country. Hurricanes, fires, floods and the COVID pandemic have hit us again and again. It’s always been in our national DNA to step up and help in these types of situations and now is no different. If you’ve reached out to assist the victims of these natural disasters – Thank You!
As tragic as these events have been, it’s important to remember that we have some truly pressing needs right here in our own community. Many of these needs, if left unmet, can and do result in tragic consequences.
That’s why we invest so much effort to provide a comprehensive set of programs and services that provide for some very basic needs for some often overlooked populations. Many of these services are not offered anywhere else in our community because they’ll never turn a profit.
But we make sure that they happen because they’re important. For example, we think that…
-
A place for parents of autistic children to gather and share experiences is important.
-
The Alcoholics Anonymous meetings held here are important.
-
Social activities for developmentally disabled adults are important.
-
On-site substance abuse assessments and counseling for kids is important.
-
Diabetic foot care that can prevent amputations is important.
-
Teens learning the value of volunteering are important.
-
Having a place for foster parents to get their state required training while their foster and bio kids are in a safe, dry, warm and supervised environment is important.
-
Delivering nutritious meals to shut-ins is important.
-
Socialization skills learned by toddlers so that they are more likely to be successful in school are important.
But these services don’t come without a cost.
Our ability to leverage our resources through collaborations with a multitude of partners keeps our costs extremely low but we still spend nearly $35,000 every year to provide space, heat, lights, insurance, custodial and staff support to insure the continuation of these services.
We do it because we think that these services are important to our program participants and our community.
Because of the disasters seen around the country, many major funders are directing their support towards those situations, limiting their ability to support smaller, local programs like ours. More than ever, it’s up to our local community to support what’s important to us here at home.
I know that you’ve probably already donated to those in need around the country and for that I say thank you. Now I’d like to ask you to make an additional gift to the Community Center to support those local programs that make an everyday difference
for your neighbors and friends.
Because it’s important.
