 Arkansas Community Foundation wants to help you stop hunger in our community.

 

I wanted to let you know about this easy way to help hunger relief organizations meet the growing need this holiday season. During the week of December 14-20, we're offering a matching program - we'll give $1 for every $2 you donate through our website to the hunger relief charity of your choice, for any donation between $25 and $2,000.

 All you have to do is visit www.arcf.org between December 14-20 and choose the "Help Stop Hunger Together" link from the homepage. From there, you'll be redirected to an online giving form where you can make a tax deductible credit card donation and choose a hunger relief organization from a list of about 100 around the state to receive your gift plus the matching funds from ARCF.

This is such an easy and cost-effective way to make big difference. If enough people participate, we'll be able to raise $300,000 to support Arkansas hunger organizations in a single week! I hope you'll consider being a part of this statewide giving effort.

  From Our Friends at Kiss the Cook:

Because God has blessed our business in so many ways this year, 

we would like to return some of it for His work.

So, during the entire month of December,

 portions of your lunch purchases will be donated to Mission Outreach.

Thanks for your continued business, and Happy Holidays from the Kiss the Cook family:

Libby, Mark, Barb, Carol, Kathy, Phyllis, and Sharon

 This is an incredibly busy time of year here - as I write there are over 250 people out front waiting to get their quarterly commodity distribution . . . We are meeting the "everyday" needs of our residents and others who participate in mission program . . . we are providing coats for those who need them through the Warm Coat Program . . . we are working to ensure all we serve experience a Blessed Christmas . . . And you know what?   

 WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

Thank you again for your support of Mission Outreach!
