Thank You Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
I want to thank the individuals in the 2009 Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory employee fundraising campaign, Helping Others More Effectively (HOME) who have chosen to support us this year. Through this program, employees of LLNL can select various charities to receive the benefit of their donations made through payroll withdrawals. These employee donations are then matched approximately 49 cents per dollar by Lawrence Livermore National Security (LLNS). We graciously wish to thank all of you who have donated to our organization, and note that our clients will be receiving 100% of your donated dollars. Although I’ve mentioned it before, the Directors of this Care 4 My Lambs covers all infrastructure costs so that 100% of donor funds go directly to our clients. Thanks again LLNL HOME and LLNS for supporting us. - Charlie
Thank You Cornerstone Fellowship
I’d like to thank Cornerstone Fellowship, in Livermore California, for supporting our organization. This past year has been particularly difficult in terms of getting support, so their gift is particularly welcome. Cornerstone is our home church, so it’s also a welcome affirmation of our our work. As you may know, Cornerstone Fellowship has mission outreaches in many parts of the world, including Columbia, Ecuador, Ghana, India, and Mexico. They also have a local outreach called “Serve the City”, which supports their local Livermore California community. Thanks again Cornerstone! - Charlie
The Holidays
Wow! Things are really tough out there this year. There is so much competition for donations, for both goods and cash. Almost every day you read in the newspapers about charities needing donations, or charities doing wonderful things for their cause, but for smaller organizations like ours, the going is tough. We are not nearly as well organized as many of the larger charities, nor are we able to mount large campaigns. But you know, it’s even tougher on the clients who come to us asking for help. We would like to be able to help more, but our resources are limited. If you are able to help, a donation of even $10 or $25 dollars can make a difference, or donate non-perishable food items (see our website for details). If you are like most people, you probably have a few extra cans of food in your pantry. Donations of food add up quickly, and before long they add up to a box of food sufficient to feed a family of 4 for a few days. If you are not able to help, we ask for your prayers for our ministry.
