Frederick Gives Back 
A Community Outreach Project of
Grace United Church of Christ

May 8, 2020

Dear friends,

 

I am writing to let you know of an important mission project that Grace Church is involved in and I am looking for your help. 

 

We have started Frederick Gives Back, a support outreach for those healthcare workers on the front lines of the pandemic. They need our support.

 

Through seed money from Grace Church and donations, we are partnering with local restaurants to prepare and deliver meals to healthcare workers in Frederick County. 

 

Below, please read the Facebook post about our first delivery of 85 meals to Ballenger Creek Nursing Center, the hardest hit in Frederick County.

 

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!  Here's how!

Rob and  I are issuing a matching challenge.  We will commit up to $500 to match your collective giving, dollar for dollar!  If you give $50, we will too.

 

This extends for one week, through next Friday. So if you can make a donation of any amount, please do so. 

 

Many thanks for all you do and I am so proud to be your pastor!


Rob + 

 

PRESS RELEASE:

May 2020

Frederick Gives Back is proud to announce its first delivery of meals to the hard working staff at Ballenger Creek Center (My Genesis HealthCare).  Thanks to community donations, Frederick Gives Back was able to provide lunch from 7th Street Cafe (7th Street Sandwich Shop) for 85 local healthcare heroes.

The Frederick Gives Back team would like to thank the donors and hardworking volunteers who helped make this possible.

Frederick Gives Back is a community outreach project of Grace United Church of Christ which gives back to the Frederick restaurant and healthcare communities by fundraising community donations which are used to engage local restaurants to prepare and deliver nutritious meals to local healthcare facilities.

We are always looking for volunteers and for healthcare facilities and local restaurants interested in partnering with our project.  Those who are interested in learning more should e-mail Trevor Addie-Carter, Project Management Administrator, at trevor.grucc@gmail.com for more information.

In addition, we can't do this without the financial support of our community donors. Those interested in *donating can do so at https://www.paypal.com/donate  (Be sure to select "Frederick Gives Back Fund" from the "Use this donation for" drop down menu.)

* All donations are made through Grace United Church of Christ, as the organization leading Frederick Gives Back. Funds are held in a restricted "Frederick Gives Back Fund" while awaiting disbursement. Grace Church then uses these donations to pay our restaurant partners.
