WITH YOUR SUPPORT
Sowing seeds of love and gratitude for YOU… our Carve for a Cause friends and family. For 19 years we have considered ourselves to be “weavers” for the greater good of our local communities, and that will continue this year.
We are proud to announce the return of our Power of the Pumpkin Community Assistance Fund. This year, we endeavor to sow our seeds of support to 5 organizations who serve populations in the greatest jeopardy of losing basic, critical services due to loss of federal funding. Please be generous and help us reach our goal of $75,000 which will be distributed to the following non-profits:
The Maya Gold Foundation – Teen Mental Health First Aid
Family of New Paltz – Essential Needs Flex Fund
RUPCO – Health / Wellness for Seniors & Homeowner Emergency Repairs
YMCA of Kingston – Before / After School Programs & Summer Camp Programs
People’s Place – Community Café Flex Fund
Please come out strong and show your support for the Power of the Pumpkin Community Assistance Fund. We thank you for allowing us to “Celebrate the Harvest and Share the Bounty.”
With Gratitude,
Marianne Murray
Founder / Carve for a Cause
