$250,000 Christmas Challenge Grant will DOUBLE your impact
Reach TWICE as many people with help and hope
 
Dear Joseph,
The Christmas season is always a good time for good news. Here’s mine…
A $250,000 Christmas Challenge Grant will DOUBLE your year-end impact!
You read that right. When you give before midnight on Tuesday, December 31, the impact of your gift will be doubledYou’ll do TWICE as much good for people struggling in great need in our community.
People like Rebecca.
Gratitude, hope, new optimism
At just age 33, Rebecca has already experienced the worst that life can throw your way: poverty, homelessness, and, especially, crippling fear.

But today, thanks to you and other generous CityTeam partners, Rebecca is rebuilding her life, preparing for a new career, and getting closer to the God she ran away from years ago.

“I came to CityTeam with one thing in my mind,” she says. “To really recover from everything in the right way: Spiritually. I didn’t know that I would get this much out of it. I didn’t know that my spirit would be settled in such a way or that I’d trust other people ever again.”
A different kind of Christmas — thanks to you

Rebecca was with us last Christmas. She says she was truly blessed by what CityTeam partners did for her. “I hadn’t been able to afford Christmas gifts for the kids for a really long time,” she says. But CityTeam donors jumped in and provided presents for each of her children. 

She was so touched by the true Christmas spirit she found. “To be able to get back to the meaning behind Christmas, and teach my kids about that,” she says, was so important to her and her growing faith.
Stand with CityTeam this Christmas
So often, it’s someone like you who God uses to change everything for a neighbor in need.

And you can do it again today with your end-of-year gift — DOUBLED by the $250,000 Christmas Challenge Grant.

As the number of people experiencing hunger and homelessness in our community grows, your partnership will be more important than ever.

If you can help by Christmas, that would be a huge blessing. But, anything you can send by midnight on Tuesday, December 31, will qualify for the match.

Can I count on you to 
give during this season of generosity so that more lives like Rebecca’s can be restored this Christmas?
Thank you!
