The Holidays are just around the corner. Which means our Holiday Charity, House of Refuge East (HRE), is underway. This is the 10th year John Hall and Associates has adopted HRE as our Holiday charity. Our company goal is to raise $5000, which will be used to buy Holiday Meals as well as provide some gifts to be delivered to the kids at a Holiday Party.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with HRE, let me share how they help the community. HRE has been around since 1996, providing transitional housing for homeless families. They have 82, two bedroom homes located at the former Williams Air Force Base. Participants not only have to meet the definition of homelessness, but also must be willing to work or go to school a minimum of 30 hours a week, be stabilized from dependence on alcohol or drugs, and follow a program to transition them to permanent housing and independent living.
Please look for the display in any John Hall & Associates office, or call Colleen Kolb at the Arrowhead office 623-878-8500. Let’s brighten our own Holiday by helping someone else.
New this year, Richard Bergemann and Mary Permoda are donating all proceeds from the holiday Arbonne orders they receive in the month of November – so please hurry if you are interested. Anyone can get a look at their product line on their website. Please window shop there but DO NOT place orders on the site. They will not get added to the House of Refuge donation. Call Richard or Mary at the number below to place an order. Plus, for anyone purchasing $150 worth of product, you will receive a special bonus. You will receive $50 worth of additional product for only $10. You can ask any questions and place orders by calling:
Mary Permoda 602-284-6009
Richard Bergemann 602-300-6516
Please consider supporting the House of Refuge East. This is a wonderful charity that needs our help. No amount is too small. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for lending a hand to help the homeless in the Phoenix area!
I just got off the phone with Colleen Kolb and MoneyJibe.com is happy to donate to help you reach your $5,000 goal.
The 6.5% unemployment figure released for October 2008 was a 14 year high (http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6100202.html), and long term unemployment payments hit a 25-year high earlier this month(http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/6098162.html). People are having difficulties finding new jobs and the current financial crisis has caused entire families to be homeless.
I have also committed to help the homeless in Phoenix by donating a portion of my MoneyJibe.com website revenue to the Phoenix Rescue Mission. People can save money using the online coupons and promotional links we provide, and at the same time help people that are less fortunate. If we all help out just a little, together we can make a difference.
Thanks again, and have a blessed holiday season!
Thanks so much Mark, for your contribution to help us raise money to buy 70 families a Holiday Meal. We couldn’t do it without the support of everyone!
We are 8 days away from our collection deadline and we have raised $1700. As we near the end of our fundraiser, I have faith that other contributors, like yourself, will step forward and aid us in making someone else’s Holiday wonderful.
Have a wonderful and prosperous Holiday season and New Year!
