Hello Friend of For the Need,

May has been an incredible month for us! We’ve been gearing up for summer with exciting activities, re-establishing partnerships, and creating moments that drive our passion.

As we move into June, we’re looking forward to the impact we can make together. Plus, we have some major announcements coming soon, so keep an eye out!

⛺ WM Will DOUBLE Your Donation! 🌱

Our Camp Campaign is in full swing, and we’re grateful for the support we’ve received so far. If you’ve already donated, thank you for your generosity.

But we are not done yet!

We are still 67% away from sending all our kids to summer camp with only 13 days left to go, and we have some BIG NEWS. Our incredible featured partner WM will DOUBLE the next $5000 given toward Operation Summer Camp. That’s right! If you give just $25 now, we receive $50!!!! 

There has never been a better time to give than RIGHT NOW!

Will you help us reach our goal? Want to help but can’t give financially?

Sharing our campaign with your business, friends, family, and colleagues is a great way to get involved, and it’s free. You never know who might be looking for something like this to give to.

Check us out on Facebook or Instagram @fortheneed, or share this email directly by forwarding it to anyone and everyone!

The Salvation Army Partnership 😁

The big news of this month is our official partnership has been extended with a name you might have come across before —The Salvation Army! Their partnership is crucial in identifying children in need and ensuring they receive the help they deserve. We share the same values in serving the population of people facing housing insecurities and, together, our efforts are amplified!

🌱 We are growing! 🌱

A big thank you… to YOU!

Of course, our efforts wouldn’t be possible without our superhero team of dedicated volunteers serving the community. Your referrals and hard work help us reach more families and provide them with the care they need. 

And speaking of heroes, a special shoutout goes to our incredible teacher volunteer Kathy H who has been referring families and kids in need in Simi Valley, directly assisting our efforts with her skills and dedication. 

Looking to Get Involved?

If you’re eager to contribute but unable to make a financial commitment at the moment, fear not! We welcome dedicated individuals to join our team as volunteers. You can help us ensure that the kids in our program are able to fully and safely enjoy events like this one coming up this Saturday, June 8th.

And here’s the exciting part—joining our volunteer force offers numerous benefits, including access to comprehensive training and support.

Visit our volunteer portal at fortheneed.org/volunteers/ to explore available opportunities.

And don’t forget!

With your sponsorship of $600 per child, you can cover everything from transportation to food to lodging. And if that’s a bit steep, no worries! 

You can always chip in with a $25 donation for a sleeping bag or a $50 care package. And thanks to WM, your donation will be DOUBLED!!!!

So, what do you say? Ready to help us make 20 dreams come true? 

Thank you,
Allie Spaccarelli
