Last week, we kicked off a fundraising drive for the Wallingford-based food bank and family resource center FamilyWorks. When I talked to Joey over at FamilyWorks, I wasn’t quite sure where to set the goal. After some hemming and hawing, I nervously set it at $3,000.
It just warms my cockles to see that after just one week, and with another month to go, we’re less than $300 away from hitting it!
I’m also very pleased to let you know that Barbara Gordon has been joined by an anonymous Wallingford donor in offering to match $1,000 in donations if we do.
How about a little extra incentive for you to join the drive? We’ll be holding a drawing for a gift bundle donated by Wallingford businesses, and everyone who donates to FamilyWorks as part of this campaign will be entered. Thus far we have:
- Haircut at Spin’s Barber Shop
- A cake from The Sweet Side
- Gift certificates a month’s membership and classes from Bala Yoga
- Something fun from Archie McPhee
If you’re a Wallingford business and would like to donate to the gift basket, please let me know! If you’re feeling the big love for FamilyWorks and would like to be the third $1,000 match donor, please let me know!
And if you want to help tip us over our $3,000 goal, please donate now. If you use the link below, your donation will be tracked along with this campaign (and you’ll be entered in the drawing, but I know that’s not why you’re doing it!)
And thanks to our business supporters:
