I am writing on behalf of Churches in Mission, a food and clothing pantry which also helps families in need with rent and utility assistance, Christmas assistance, and more. 

This is our 35th year to assist families in need. In 2021, we provided 8,597 acts of assistance to help children through the elderly in 1,578 households. For the health of our clients, we also work to make sure each grocery order has fresh foods, including eggs, milk, produce, and meats, along with boxed and canned items. We also work with our clients to help them find longer-term solutions for the obstacles they face but providing classes in financial literacy, family resilience, suicide prevention, healthy lifestyles, and other topics important to our families.

We would like to ask for your consideration in providing an auction item for our 2022 annual dinner, Sea of Possibilities. Proceeds will benefit our operations – purchasing food, helping with classes, supporting families with rent and utility assistance, and more.  Our event will held at The Sycamore at Mallow Run on August 18, 2022. The event draws about 270 attendees but the auction is also available to a larger number of people online. Donations will be auctioned to raise funds to help families in need.  

Thank you for your consideration.
