Jessica's family is struggling. Will you share HOPE?

 YOU can help a family facing hard times — like Jessica's

 

 

 

"It's very hard right now." — Jessica

 

Dear Joseph,

"We don't have everything we need," says Jessica, "It's very hard right now."

So many families in our community are struggling right now. Jessica's is just one. She can't work due to a recent knee surgery. And her husband is looking for a job.

She could easily be down on life. But she's not.

She's overwhelmed with gratitude...

 

 

Reach out
and share
Thanksgiving
HOPE!

GIVE NOW

 

 

Help a struggling family this Thanksgiving

"CityTeam comes to this apartment and they give us food," Jessica says. "Fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk, everything."

She is referring to the twice-monthly deliveries at her apartment complex. Because of you and other generous friends, she is even looking forward to Thanksgiving. She knows her family will not have to suffer.

Join us now to show thousands of other households like Jessica's: "You are not alone. You do not have to go without. God loves you. Thanksgiving is HOPE!"

Every $1.89 you give now will share a hearty Thanksgiving meal and compassionate care with those in need.

"CityTeam, they give to everybody," says Jessica. 

She’s almost right! The truth is, we cannot give to every neighbor in need without YOU. Please give now to make all the difference, to give so much HOPE. Your giving truly changes lives.

With gratitude,

Kwinn Tucker
Executive Director, CityTeam


P.S. No one in the Chester area should go hungry, especially at Thanksgiving! So please give a gift now.

 

 

"Hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

4 ways to make connections this month

 

In the past months and weeks, it seems as if a new challenge has popped up every day. For many families, these struggles are compounded by very personal concerns about addiction and substance use. Yet we have hope in the midst of this trying time. We see parents and professionals reaching out, checking in and making connections. We see them sharing knowledge, supporting each other and showing empathy to those struggling. It’s this type of healthy connection that can help prevent subtance use and support sustained recovery for people who have struggled with substances in the past. Preventing and/or addressing substance use in your family, workplace or community may seem daunting, but there’s always an opportunity to make a connection. Below we offer four ways to promote human connection and healthy outcomes during this isolating time. WAYS TO CONNECT: With your teen or young adult Conversations with your child can happen whenever or wherever you’re spending quality time together such as during meals, while taking a walk or during a car ride. With yourself Taking care of your own emotional and physical health is important. For some, self-care may be as simple as taking a break from work, reading a chapter in a book or making a cup of tea. If you struggle with managing stress, engaging in therapy can help, too. With other local nonprofits Our Community Partners Network is a national network of locally-based organizations that serve families struggling with substance use and/or mental health issues. By working together, we’re able to share resources, foster communication and increase the bandwidth of small-but-mighty teams who are dedicated to helping families. With your representative When a community is involved and empowered, we can accomplish needed change in our public policies and health care system. Send a letter to your Members of Congress urging them to cosponsor a grant program to provide support services for families struggling to help loved ones with substance use disorders.
