What can you do?
If you are reading this, I hope, when you are finished, that you will make a small donation to Family Help, Inc. (FHI). Perhaps you will consider giving a gift of money in another person's name—a superb way to give a gift that won't collect dust, but will put food on a table or provide shelter for a child.
FHI is in its second year of service to the homeless of Middletown, Delaware. Many of you contributed money to the project last year, and several school athletic programs raised money for Christmas presents. I’m proud to report that many teams contributed again this year.
The generosity of those of us who have more of life's advantages is supporting four families with children, who live in transitional housing units on West Lake Street in Middletown, Delaware. Each family receives food and clothing as well as counseling that will, with God’s help, lead each family to more a stable and independent future. Two families have already moved on from our facility and new tenants have moved in.
The generosity of many individuals and groups has allowed FHI to meet an important need in our community, but, in order for us to continue this noble work, I am asking you consider making a tax-deductible donation to help FHI continue its mission. Your donation will be used to maintain four apartments, provide basic needs for four families, and continue programs to help them create a better financial foundation for themselves and their families.
In these challenging economic times, FHI needs your support. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of homeless families in Middletown.
Checks should be sent to Family Help Inc. If you would like to get involved in other ways, tour the property, or ask questions about the program, please contact Board President Harvey Zendt at 302-528-5685.
Finally, please pass this plea on to others who are in a position to support FHI's effort to help those in need. On behalf of the FHI Board, I thank you in advance for your support.
Faithfully yours,
Dave
