CITYTEAM - eNews July 2021 Issue - Igniting Hope. Restoring Lives.
Dear Friend,
Families facing poverty are getting a hand up, men and women battling homelessness and addiction are finding new life, and our neighborhoods are being rebuilt . . . all thanks to you!
I hope you’ll take just a moment to read so much good news in the following articles — every word is a credit to your support.
As you do, I hope you’ll also consider a special gift to CityTeam. Funding this work during the lean summer weeks is a challenge, and we depend even more on friends like you continuing to stand with us. Please know how much I appreciate you. God bless you this summer.
With gratitude,
David Sundman
Executive Director, CityTeam Portland
So Thankful for YOU!
So Thankful for YOU!
When Irene was a child, her mom brought her to CityTeam for backpacks with school supplies. As an adult, she was a hard worker who saved carefully. She never dreamed she’d need to ask for help. But after the pandemic hit and she lost her job, just putting food on the table for her children became difficult.
Thanks to you and other generous partners, she and her kids received meals and help they needed. “I have no idea what I would have done without the food,” she says.
Getting AND giving help
Today, Irene is a CityTeam volunteer. She says, “It’s such a blessing . . . I can’t pay CityTeam back in money, but I’m able to help in a different way.”
She continues: “I’m so blessed by CityTeam. Not just for what you give, but for how you are, the way you treat us. You make me feel like I’m part of a family, like I’m not alone. I want to say thank you so much for giving and helping the community. And God bless you.”
Kids + You = Potential
Kids + You = Potential
Kids naturally want what other kids have. A new backpack filled with school supplies helps a child feel better about themselves.
Self-confidence encourages children to try harder and do better in school.
Knowing their new backpack is a gift demonstrates God’s love, and yours, in a special way they understand.
Providing local kids in need with new backpacks stuffed full of school supplies is a simple but powerful way to help them reach their potential.
