Greetings!

So many in our community have made a pledge for our 2009 campaign. Thanks to all of you!!! As of January 31, 2009, our total pledge amount was $1,425,687.

The need in our community is greater than we have ever seen. We are seeing an increased number of people who are without basic needs, such as food, shelter, utilities, etc.

We need your help now more than ever before. If you haven't made your 2009 pledge, please do so right now.

Simply GIVE!!

You can make a difference in someone's life today!
