You Can Change a Life

People Serving People Change a Life

Today - a homeless mother is working on job applications and housing searches, and her husband is working on his Microsoft Office skills.  Their children are in preschool, and they're looking forward to movie night this week.  All of these activities are taking place at People Serving People - and all of these activities are made possible through donations from community members.
 
People Serving People's community-funded programs help nearly 1,000 families work towards self-sufficiency yearly. However, donations are down 40% this year, and they need every bit of help they can get to help homeless families become stable.
 
Starting September 1st, all monthly donations made to People Serving People (by first-time donors) will be DOUBLED.   A donation of just $10 a month can truly make a difference.  That, doubled, would mean that a total of $240 will help a family to be supported by staff and volunteers through their Family Support Services.
 
There is a limit to how many people can get their donations matched – so sign up today to get on the list to join the Change a Life Coalition on September 1st!
