January Developments
Reflections on 2019
Friends,

This month we devote our Developments newsletter to say thank you to everyone who made Yachad's work possible. I only wish we had enough space to list the names of all of our volunteers and donors. I hope that our individual thank you for your gift of time and money demonstrates our sincere gratitude. Every hour and every dollar given helps to see that another family has a safe and healthy home to sleep, celebrate holidays, do homework and simply live life. We all need that. Thank you for helping others have that opportunity too. We look forward to working with you in 2020. There is much still to do.

Sincerely,
Audrey Lyon
Executive Director
