Giving Tuesday
You've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but there's another day you need to know about.... Giving Tuesday! During this time of year, when we all spend time and money buying gifts for the holidays, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to celebrate the season by giving to your favorite charity!
With COVID-19 still having an impact on our communities, St. Matthews Area Ministries wanted to reach out with a quick update regarding our increased need for your support this Giving Tuesday.
While the world as most know it, has come to a halt, things at St. MAM have been busier than ever due to the pandemic. To date, we have provided over $324,000 in rent, mortgage, and utility assistance. In comparison during the same period in 2019, St. MAM provided $69,730 in financial assistance. Additionally, our food pantry needs have increased by 150% since mid-March.
Without YOUR support, our wonderful community partnerships and CARES federal funding, many of our families would be without a roof over their head, food on their tables, or utilities to keep them warm during this unprecedented time.
Please consider making a donation that will continue to support our front line response. Each week more and more of our neighbors continue to find themselves in need due to job loss or reduction in hours, health issues/COVID diagnosis, and many other circumstances out of their control.
Thank you in advance for your continued support & generosity!
