I wanted to send out a last reminder email about the 5K race I will be running in this Saturday on October 1st. Thank you to everyone who has provided support thus far through your donations. This is a great way to help give our neighbors who have had a rough go a chance to transition back into our society and work towards a better life.
The following video will give you a look into how the SHC changes lives.http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ab1v_shc_people
In 1985, the SHC was created by the local community’s grassroots response to the social crisis of homelessness. Neighbors, community activists, university students, faith-based leaders, business supporters and city officials united to address the escalating problem of homelessness within Somerville. Today, SHC transforms lives by providing services, support, resources and housing to well over 600 men, women, and children throughout Somerville, Arlington and Greater Boston.
With the multitude of charity volunteering and donations, I understand our collective financial resources can run thin, so even a sponsorship of a some pocket change ($1-$5) would go a long way in accomplishing my goal. I am grateful to you for any support you can provide in my 5K run for the Somerville Homeless Coalition. See the following link to give your donations electronically.http://www.active.com/donate/somervillehomelessco/marthapaxton If you would like to donate cash or check let me know and I will come collect it from you.
Thank you for your support and for helping our local community in changing lives.
