It's Almost Giving Tuesday!

Tomorrow is a BIG day for fundraising around the world- similar to Cyber Monday, except Giving Tuesday is all about GIVING.

This year we are focusing Giving Tuesday on providing rental assistance to residents of Whitfield County.

You have played a huge role in the success of our organization. With your help, we will reduce homelessness in our community!

Please consider a donation in the following ways:

Donate at Network for Good: www.nfggive.org

By Mail: PO Box 904 Dalton, GA 30722

Any amount will make a difference. The average assistance is $300 per family. We have served more than 700 families this year already.

Thank You for your consideration, time and investment in our mission!

Sincerely,

Amber Cobb
Executive Director
