Thank yuou for donating a $25 gift certificate to Bernie and Phyl’s to the 13th Annual Food Fest & Auction, which contributed to the success of the event.  This year, the silent and live auctions raised more than $47,000 to support the mission of Father Bill’s Place.

Father Bill’s Place counts on the support of dedicated individuals like you.  Year after year, we are humbled by the outpouring of generosity from the community that makes Food Fest possible.

Thank you for your role in making Interfaith’s 6th Annual Golf Tournament such a great success!  With your support, more than $14,000 (net) was raised to help fund our programs for those in need.

We greatly appreciate your donation of a $25 gift certificate.  Your generosity makes it possible for us to ensure that individuals and families in need on e South Shore have access to food, clothing, limited financial assitance, and counseling.  No goods or services of any value were or will be transferred to you in connection wth this donation.  Please keep this written acknowlegment of your donation for your tax records.

During the first half of 2007, more than 5,400 individuals received 3-5 days worth of food through the Pantry Shelf - a 12% increase over the same period last year.  The number of children served has increased by 15% and the number of those over ge 60 by 36%.  The number of counseling sessions conducted through New Directions has increased by 15%.  Counselors haveheld more than 900 therapy sessions for adults, children, families, and couples.  Many of our clients do not have health insurance cverage and utilize our sliding scale fee structure.  Requests for financial assistance continue to reach new heights; many families strugle to make ends meet.  We are able to serve so many because of thoughtful contributions from people like you.

As we celebrate our 60th year of “strengthening family life and offering assistance” we will continue our efforts to reach out to our neighbors in need. We will expand the servicesof New Directions Counseling so that we may meet the increased demand for our services.  We will strive to increase the availability of meat, dairy, and produce items in the Pantry Shelf.  New workshops will be offered to Career Closet clients.

We hope that you will join us for our 60th Anniversary Celebration and Annual Meeting on Thursday, October 25th at the Quincy Neighborhood Club.  Additional details are available at http://www.interfaithsocialservices.org/.

Dear Naomi:

On behalf of The Carroll School Playground Committee I would like to thank you for your generous donation.  Your commitment to helping us build a new playground at the Carroll School is sincerely appreciated.

On August 16-18, the Playground Committee will be constructing a community-built play space behind the Carroll School.  This playground will provide the children in the area with a safe place to play where they can learn and grow outside of school.  If you or your employees are interested in joining us on Build Day, please let us know.  We could use all of the help we can get.

The Playground Committee has enjoyed great success in the past year.  We have sponsored a Walk-A-Thon where the children of the sool collected pledges and made close to $6,000.  We have been selling Carroll School merchandise at school events.  We hosted a Taste of Peabody Auction in November.

The goal of the Carroll School Playground Committee is to continue to make a difference in the lives of the children in the Ward 3 area.  With the help of donations from supporters such as you, we look forward to seeeing a beautiful play structure at the Carroll School very soon.

Thanks again for your generous support of our efforts and for helping to put a smile n the faces fo many children.

Best Wishes,

Laurin cox
Carroll School Playground Committee
