Homeward Bound

I am sending out this email today because Martha's House is a much needed service in the Bloomington community and it can use all the assistance it can receive. The staff at Martha's House has decided to put together a team for the Homeward Bound walk, which takes place in April 2008. This is a walk dedicated to raise money to help fight homelessness. The Executive Director at my agency has challenged all of us to not only participate in the walk, but to do extensive fundraising to ensure the existence of our much needed service.

No amount is too small or too big, and every contribution is appreciated and much needed! If you would like to learn more about the walk, feel free to go to http://homewardboundindiana.org/ . There are way to donate online through that website, by clicking on "make a donation"

and then choosing "Martha's House" to donate to.

Also, because our director has challenged each of us to raise a certain amount of money (at least $300 each), I would certainly not be opposed to receiving checks myself, either by mail or in person. Checks can be made out to Martha's House and sent to my Indiana address(listed below).

My address is 2506 East 5th Street, Bloomington, IN 47408 – or dropped off at the School of Social Work, 1127 East Atwater

Donations are tax deductable. Attached if a form you can send in with the check. If you fill out the information, a receipt will be sent to you at our earliest convenience.

Whether you are able to make a donation or not, I appreciate you taking the time out to read my email.

This is a very important cause that I am very passionate about; therefore I thank you for your time and consideration.

Please take care and feel free to contact me at 240-447-3296 if you have any other questions. Also feel free to forward this email to others who may be interested in making a contribution.
