One Friend at a Time: A monthly giving campaign
Over 75% of The Friendship Center budget comes from individuals like you. Your support helps The Friendship Center provide an anchoring and supportive community for our participants. In giving, you help us foster caring relationships as we work to recognize and meet the needs of those marginalized by mental illness and poverty.
Why give monthly:
Long Term Planning - Your donation allows us to plan our budget with greater accuracy, which will allow us to set and meet goals that help further our mission.
It’s simple-There’s a one time set up and then you won’t have to worry about getting your pledge in each month.
Cost Effective - Your automatic recurring gift goes directly toward our mission since there are fewer admins costs to cover.
Perks - When you join the One Friend at a Time monthly giving campaign, you will receive special offers to join us for educational offerings and fun activities as well as thank you gifts for your generosity.
Life changing - Every gift that we receives directly impacts the lives of our participants who live with mental illness. Your gift funds recovery programs, peer to peer support groups, meal programs, medical assistance, a clothing closet, and more. Thanks to you, these offerings are available to drastically increase the quality of life and the dignity of our participants.
