Matching Gift Challenge at St. Francis House - Your Donation Doubled!
April 9, 2009
BOSTON - These days, stretching your money isn’t just smart, it’s a necessity. That’s why St. Francis House is so pleased to tell you about an exciting offer made by four generous donors. These individuals, who prefer to remain anonymous, have offered to match, dollar for dollar, every donation that comes in between now and May 22, up to $85,000.
Think of what that means: A $25 gift will become $50, enough to buy spring jackets for two guests. A $50 donation will become $100, enough to provide a nourishing lunch for 33 people. A $250 gift will become $500, enough to buy 25 pairs of new sneakers.
This opportunity couldn’t have come at a better time, given the current economic climate. More and more people visit St. Francis House looking for help and hope every day. Their kitchen often serves 1,100 or 1,200 meals a day, and there are waitlists for many of their programs.
You can make an online donation today by clicking here. Boston’s poor and homeless really need your help, and, thanks to this generous challenge, your money will now go twice as far.
