After hearing about the fire at City Mission, Isaac Cox and his grandmother knew they wanted to help. His grandmother suggested doing a lemonade stand and Isaac sprang into action right away. Selling his homemade recipe for 50 cents a glass, he quickly collected $180 from generous people who passed by. President/CEO, Dean Gartland is pictured here with Isaac and his lemonade stand sign. We are grateful for young entrepreneurs, like Isaac, who have a heart for the Mission.

If you have a fun and unique way to help City Mission we would love to feature you in the memo. Send your story and pictures to Maria Stockman, [email protected], or stop in the administrative office at 382 West Chestnut Street, Suite 108.

 

Twins Isabel and Giovanna DeRosa celebrated their 11th birthdays in April this year. The sisters knew they wanted to have a great party, but mostly that they didn't want any gifts! That's right, these girls asked the guests to not bring a birthday gift for them but to consider bringing a monetary donation to City Mission instead!

Isabel and Giovanna were very pleased with the turn out for their party and said humbly, "some of the guests did bring a donation and gifts, too!"

Thank you, young ladies, for your kind and giving hearts!
