Local Foundation Will Match $7,500
in Spring Appeal

                                  

Faces and quotes can’t begin to tell the story of what volunteers through The Center for Volunteer Caregiving have meant to seniors and their families in Cary, Raleigh and surrounding Wake County towns since 1992.

We need your financial support now to keep up the good work. Your gift this spring  can help us offer no fee services to those in our community who need help to stay in their own homes as long as possible.  Your gift can make sure seniors get to the doctor and the grocery store, families get rest from the duties of taking care of Mom or Dad, and time at home is enriched by that volunteer friend.  Your gift can help us recruit, prepare and support the needed volunteers to make this happen. 

If you are a new donor to The Center, have not given in the past two years, or increase your giving during this appeal, your gift will be matched through the generous support of a local private foundation.  If The Center raises $7500 in new support, the foundation will match the gift.   We are fortunate to have this opportunity to double our efforts and make your gift go further.

As a new donor or a faithful supporter, if you can, please consider a gift of $100 to support The Center for Volunteer Caregiving.  With Mother’s Day and Father’s Day just around the corner, you may want to give a gift in honor of or in memory of that senior that is meaningful in your life.   Whatever the reason, please give by June 20, 2010 in order for our challenge grant to be counted in this fiscal year.

On behalf of the board, staff and those we serve, we thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Lynn D. Templeton, Executive Director
