Today marked my second attempt to go out and solicit donations and/or participation from Hebron area businesses for our upcoming "24-Hour Famine to End THE Famine". I also had a few places to follow up with after having made first contact on Saturday. Today, our 13 year old, Noah went along for the journey and here's the tally so far:
Hebron Brew Haus- Donating 4 large pizzas for us to "Break the Fast" on 9/11/11 at our afternoon event; kept a "Your Change Can Make a Difference" (YCCMD) jar; commitment to give us some gift cards
Hebron Chiropractic- Kept a YCCMD jar; commitment to participate in some way on day of the 9/11/11 event
Wendy's of Hebron- Commitment to participate in some way
Penn Station of Hebron- 2 Free offers of 1 small fry & 1 small sandwich each
Papa John's of Hebron- 4 Free offers for 1 Large 1 topping pizza each
Great Clips of Hebron- Commitment to partcipate in some way
Palm Beach Tan of Hebron- Kept a YCCMD jar; commitment to participate in some way
Beef O'Brady's of Hebron- Commitment to participate in some way
Liquor Cabinet of Hebron- Kept a YCCMD jar
Dr. Tiffany Buller-Schussler, DDS- Commitment to participate in some way
Firm Foundation Home School Co-op- Participating with a "Your Change Can Make a Difference" BUCKET!
WOW! I still haven't hit all of the businesses on my side of the street and there are about half as many on the other side. I've not even begun to contemplate the timing or possibility of contacting the businesses just over the interstate. This is awesome!
Obviously, all of the change donations will be great. And these prizes and giveaways will be an even bigger draw to getting people to participate with a drop-off donation on Sunday the 11th. I'm stoked!!! And my prayer this afternoon was that as this grows, God's people would burn with passion for doing something...anything for the starving poor half a world away!
You can click on the Prayer Requests Page to find out how to continue to pray for this event.
And if you haven't read up on the Event, go to this page: 24-Hour Famine Event
Everyone that drops off a donation on Sunday, September 11th at our clubhouse (Sanctuary Place Clubhouse map) will be entered in the drawings for the above prizes.
Don't miss the opportunity to make the difference in the life of One Child at a time!
