Description
Hello,
This letter is written on behalf of Advocates for Homeless & Those in Need (AHTN) a local non-profit that serves the homeless and those in need, by providing year-long access to emergency shelter, food & other life sustaining services.
As we wrap up on our 10th Code Blue season we are already looking ahead to our 11th Code Blue Season. With the support of local churches and volunteers, AHTN offers a safe place for someone in need to sleep during the cold winter months. Each night, our guests are provided transportation to the shelter, a warm meal, a cot with bedding and any other necessities that they may need such as a winter coat, boots, dry socks, first-aid, etc. In addition, families with children are a priority and we work closely with local resources to provide a safe environment for them. None of this can be made possible without donations from our local community.
In addition to Code Blue we run 3 other programs. Wheels to Meals which provides a hot meal every day to anyone in need. The Rejuvenation Station which provides showers, haircuts and clean clothing. And, Those in Need provides resources and funding to help those on the verge of homelessness. This includes emergency shelter; move-in costs; rental assistance; prescriptions; eye exams and glasses; car repairs; and transportation to mental health and doctor's appointments; thrift stores; food pantries; drug court and the laundromat.
For our 2019 fundraising season, AHTN has organized several events to help raise money for our donation needs. The monies raised will help us fund such things like gas and maintenance of our buses, warm clothing, bedding for the shelter etc. We are asking local businesses for their support by donating a gift certificate or item to be raffled off at one of our upcoming events. Currently we are looking for donations for our July 27th Bingo event at St. Francis Cabrini.
If you would like to support AHTN by donating a raffle item or the gift of a monetary donation, please contact me to make arrangements for donation pick-up or you can mail to the address found below. In addition, we do have sponsorship opportunities available for a round of Bingo. You will find our tax ID number at the bottom of this letter. We will recognize your business on our social media site and our website.
For more information about the services AHTN offers, please visit our website: AHTN.org. Any additional questions, please contact me directly. Thank you for your consideration with helping those in need and our homeless here in our community!
Sincerely,
Shana Hastings
