Give Warmth this Giving Tuesday

November 21, 2023

By La Crosse Community Foundation

As winter approaches, the housing challenges facing our community grow ever more pressing. Today, we’re excited to introduce the “Give Warmth” campaign, a collaborative effort by La Crosse Community Foundation and Great Rivers United Way to address a critical need: keeping our neighbors sheltered and safe during the cold months ahead.

We invite you to watch the eye-opening video included in this email. In it, local leaders and advocates share first-hand insights into the struggles challenging many in our community — from families to veterans, senior citizens to children. You’ll hear about the urgent need for resources, the hidden faces of homelessness, and the incredible work being done by various agencies to help. This video isn’t just informative; it’s a call to action.

 

 

Your support can give warmth to people who might otherwise be left out in the cold. This year, we have an extraordinary opportunity: the first $10,000 in donations on GivingTuesday will be matched by La Crosse Community Foundation and Great Rivers United Way, tripling the impact of your generosity. This means your contribution will go even further in providing essential services and shelter to those in need.

Together, we can bring warmth and hope to those facing homelessness this winter. Your donation can help fill critical gaps, from emergency shelter to essential items for those starting new jobs. Let’s unite to support our community in creating solutions and a brighter future for all. Please visit bit.ly/GiveWarmthThisSeason on GivingTuesday.

Thank you for your continued support and for being a source of hope in these challenging times.
