Dear Friends,

It's time to Amplify The Caring Place! If you don't know, Amplify is the name of a 24-hour online giving campaign benefiting non-profits in Central Texas. We've been participating in the Amplify campaign for several years, and each year it has grown. This year is already starting off with a bang, and I want to tell you a little about why your help Amplifying The Caring Place is so important. What makes this campaign so powerful is the matching dollars that are available, making this an excellent time to give.

As a grant recipient of St. David's Foundation, The Caring Place receives additional funds based on the amount we raise. This year, our Board of Directors has generously increased their giving in order to take advantage of this opportunity. The Board has agreed to match all community donations, dollar for dollar, up to $27,000!!! This is BIG! Did you know $27,000 could buy 108,000 meals for neighbors in need? And, since the Board will be matching the $27,000 that you collectively contribute, that's 216,000 meals we could buy! Of course, we won't just be buying food. We also buy gas for neighbors who need to get to work or a doctor's appointment and GoGeo bus tickets for those that don't have cars. When there's a job loss or medical crisis, neighbors may struggle to pay their rent or utility bill, and we help with that, too. And now, through our Case Management programs, The Caring Place has more opportunities to help get our friends back on their feet and stay there. 100% of your monetary donation will directly impact neighbors in need.

So, when I ask you to help us raise $27,000 for your neighbors, and unlock our Board’s matching dollars, know it's because I see all the good we can do together. You give, the Board matches and St. David's Foundation amplifies the funds further. The potential for a fantastic giving campaign is here, and it just needs you! If you need any additional information on this campaign, feel free to send me an email at goconnor@caringplacetx.org . My team and I are happy to share why we are so passionate about Amplifying The Caring Place! If you are ready to give, find campaign information and the Amplify link on our website at www.caringplacetx.org/amplify.

Blessings,

Ginna

In the Food Pantry: Amplify Our Pantry!

While normally we promote ways you can give to the Food Pantry through Food Drives and monetary gifts, during this month, we want you to know the very best way to help those in need is to give a monetary gift through our Amplify Campaign! With board matching and St. David's Foundation boosting the total we raise, there is no better time to say, "I Live Here, I Give Here!" Here is that important link, once again:
