Meals on Wheels Challenge

“This has been an absolute record for us and could not have been achieved without our amazing community donors, such as the J.T. Clark Family Foundation. They helped to encourage further donations in the beginning of the campaign, and generously donated $10,000 to our campaign total. With their matched funding offer and our work confirming early donations, the J.T. Clark Family Foundation has generously donated $10,000 to our campaign total. Talk about a springboard to a banner fundraising year when our community needs it the most!

Our organization is simply speechless when it comes to the generosity and heart of this community. We are so appreciative of your kindness this season – something to help bring holiday cheer to the end of an unpredictable year!”

Did JTCFF Challenge Make A Difference?

A few quotes from Betty Daniels. (Ex. Dir.) regarding the role of JTCFF in success of MOW campaign: 

Dec. 30th: I absolutely cannot believe this success, and I know JTCFF’s early effort on our behalf truly helped us reach this amazing point.  It is beyond what I had even hoped for, and it is going to make such a huge difference to us as we head into the New Year.  

Jan. 11th: This is unbelievable – includes mail in donations and online through Canada Helps. This total does not include the donation from the Clark Family Foundation. I’m speechless at the generosity, and again so grateful for truly helping us jump start this.  It is so very helpful as we begin our budgeting process for the coming year.  

Social Media Post in December: “Let’s start this Monday off with some AMAZING News! We have been absolutely blown away by our community support this Letter Campaign. To date, our campaign has brought in almost $44,000! This has been an absolute record for us and could not have been without our amazing community donors, such as the J.T. Clark Family Foundation. They helped to encourage further donations in the beginning of the campaign, and generously donated $10,000 to our campaign total. Our organization is simply speechless when it comes to the generosity and heart of this community. We are so appreciative of your kindness this season – something to help bring holiday cheer to the end of an unpredictable year!”
