God bless you this summer. With gratitude, Kwinn Tucker Executive Director, CityTeam Chester So Thankful for YOU! When Irene was a child, her mom brought her to CityTeam for backpacks with school supplies. As an adult, she was a hard worker who saved carefully. She never dreamed she’d need to ask for help. But after the pandemic hit and she lost her job, just putting food on the table for her children became difficult. Thanks to you and other generous partners, she and her kids received meals and help they needed. “I have no idea what I would have done without the food,” she says. Getting AND giving help Today, Irene is a CityTeam volunteer. She says, “It’s such a blessing . . . I can’t pay CityTeam back in money, but I’m able to help in a different way.” She continues: “I’m so blessed by CityTeam. Not just for what you give, but for how you are, the way you treat us. You make me feel like I’m part of a family, like I’m not alone. I want to say thank you so much for giving and helping the community. And God bless you.” Kids + You = Potential • Kids naturally want what other kids have. A new backpack filled with school supplies helps a child feel better about themselves. • Self-confidence encourages children to try harder and do better in school. • Knowing their new backpack is a gift demonstrates God’s love, and yours, in a special way they understand. Providing local kids in need with new backpacks stuffed full of school supplies is a simple but powerful way to help them reach their potential. Share Your Love With a Neighbor in Need At CityTeam, summer is all about hope. By working together, we can provide individuals and families in crisis with the resources that will bring them hope. Your gift today will deliver services proven to equip people in need to weather the storm, find lasting change, and, ultimately, experience new life in Jesus Christ. Thank you!
