Dear Friends at Community Services Consortium,

Thank you so much for your contribution of $90 for motel and gas allowance. It's such an encouragement for us to have friends who are interested in and lend their support to the mission of the Hope Center.

Your gift helps us to lend assistance that we are not always able to offer to someone in need. This year we were able to help provide a wonderful Christmas to five women and four children here at the Center, thanks to our faithful supporters.

We appreciate you so much. God bless you.

Sincerely,

Lynn Wiens, Co-director

Subject: Thank you!

Dear Ms. Neel and Mr. Bulling,

I just wanted to take a moment and thank SEIU Local 083, as well as the many OSU faculty and students who contributed, for the generosity they showed during the recent Christmas Donation Drive.

As always, we are quite happy to accept whatever items, food, and money are collected, but this year was exceptional.  In fact, we were able to fulfill the simple requests of more than twice the number of agencies than last year.  While it is heart-warming to know that the OSU community is supportive of the work we do, the generosity of your participants shows the care and concern they have for the greater community.  On behalf of our clients and partners, we extend sincere thanks for a job well done.

Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help bolster and support this great work next winter season.

Regards,

Tom
