The generosity from our members is evident with a continuous stream of funds gifted to the donation programs.
As of Nov 25th, the totals for the 3 programs were:
The Affordable Lunch Program will get the promised 3-month review once the November figures are completed. However, it looks like the donated funds will more than cover the drop in revenue due to lower prices and other kitchen related expenses incurred in the 3-month period. A report on the review will be available in the January edition of the Echo.
The much-needed General Revenue funds were further swelled by an incredibly generous donation of over $12,000 by an anonymous donor who wished that the funds be used to support the monthly dances and the food program, along with $1,000 in support of the Memory Café, with the residual being used for general revenue expenses.
This month the Endowment fund received a wonderful $1,000 gift from member Judy Rother, along with an anonymous gift of $500 to bring the total to $15,500. This is a great vehicle for Legacy gifting and In-Memoriam donations to help build a sustainable future for the Centre.
Thanks again to all our donors as we continue to make the Centre the best it can be for our members and ensure its long-term future.
