‘Shelter Now’ Letter of Appreciation

admin — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:20:24 +0000

We would like to thank you for your generous donation of silverware, bowls, cups, Beanie Babies, stuffed animals, toys, books, boots, coat, hats, baby quilts, blankets, booties, jackets, fleece, cologne, toiletries, pants, and onesies. Donations such as yours help us to provide the customers of the shelter with necessities of life that most of us take for granted.

We would like to acknowledge that without your generosity and consideration, the customers of SHELTER N.O.W. would not only be without permanent housing, they would also be without hope. It is your kindness that empowers our customers and encourages our staff to continue this difficult mission.

Sincerely,

William Tuthill
Director of Justice and Residential Programs Shelter NOW

Star Touring and Riding Association Letter of Appreciation

admin — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:56:16 +0000

Dear John H. Caruso Jr., President and CEO of Charities of Hope:

On behalf of the Hartford Chapter 168 of Star Touring and Riding Association I am writing to thank you for your support in 2009. Due to your generosity, you have helped us to meet our goal in hosting the food drop which will benefit over 400 families from Family Life Education Inc. of Hartford, CT.

Chapter members and guests will distribute food and personal care goods for needy families on October 17, 2009 at 1200 Park St. (Save-A-Lot parking lot), Hartford Connecticut. Our chapter members committed to raising funds to commission a tractor-trailer truck from Feed the Children. This will be our second food drop event in Hartford or last being in May of 2006.

This event would not have been possible without the help of many supporters like you.

Thanks so much for your support in this effort.

Sincerely,

Wally Savage.
President
Hartford Chapter 168
STAR Touring and Riding Association.

Thank You Note from AHM Youth and Family Services

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 16:41:13 +0000

Dear Friends:

I am writing you on the half of the AHM Youth and Family Services Board of Directors and our staff. Your most recent contribution of $300 for our general AHM programs is accepted with the greatest of appreciation. Your fantastic ongoing support comes at a time of so much uncertainty in the lives of the local families we serve, and it is reassuring to know that there are still organizations such as yours who are determined to continue supporting a community cause, such as AHM. I am very pleased to share that in spite of all the negative economic news of this past year our organization has not missed a beat in service to the community. We did this through our core group of a dozen primary services and nearly forty other small and major activities that took place last year.

There are many reasons why we are able to remain as strong and viable local organization when families needed us most. The single greatest reason is directly connected to the amazing support that AHM receives from the local philanthropic community. Certainly, Charities of Hope has quickly become a very important part of our local annual fund drives, and we are so very thankful for the support.

All the best to you and your families for a safe, healthy, and happy upcoming holiday season!

Sincerely,

Joel Rosenberg
Executive Director
AHM Youth and Family Services
