Dear Katie,
Spring has… sprung? I see snowflakes at the moment, so, I’m not so sure. But! What I do know is that here at MCUM, we are ready. This month we have launched our Spring Campaign where we hope to raise $50,000 and feed 700 families. We’ve made it easier than ever for you to feed a family. Simply click here to let us know how many families you will feed and then either print the shopping list on your own or come on by to pick up a bag and list – fill it up – and then return it to us by the end of April. Donating is always easy if you give online, here.
We said “bye!” to winter with a very successful Paths to Prosperity event on February 29, presented by Edward Jones. Raising just north of $25,000, we are thrilled with the impact our guests will have on the families we serve. Thanks for coming! If you missed this year’s event, please plan to come next time! It was a lot of fun.
This month, 4 of us are gearing up for Empathways’ conference – A Path Forward – in Boston, MA. We will spend one week learning about program design, impact evaluation, policies, and more from national poverty experts, practitioners, and partners in alleviating poverty. I cannot wait!
Be sure to check out the full newsletter to see what else we have been up to. Thanks for reading!
