- For those not able to be in class today, we received a letter from Mary's House (Project 14:16 recipients). Below is a copy of the letter that was passed around on the clipboard today.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, staff, and clients we want to express our sincere appreciation for your donation to our agency. Your kindness is much appreciated! We believe the value of your gift is worth far more than words can express.
Mary's Homes is a joint project of Mary's House, the Greensboro Housing Authority and Family Services of the Piedmont. These are thirty scattered site homes for homeless mothers in recovery and their children. We provide case management and addiction counseling for these families.
Thank you again for selecting to support Mary's Homes and our mothers in recovery from drug addiction and their children. (Also included in the 3rd paragraph of the letter is Mary's House tax exemption number. If you care to have this for tax purposes, let me know and I will e-mail it to you instead of having it posted on the blog.)
Sincerely,
Cheryl C Sandridge
Case Manager
