Gratitude

I know you’ve heard from us a lot lately asking you for donations to the Winter Wonderland Toy and Coat Drive, Giving Tuesday and end-of-year donations.

I want to thank you for your patience with the emails and requests. As we say around here, the need is big but while we’re small, we are mighty!

Your response on Giving Tuesday was awesome — we more than doubled our initial goals! And the response to Winter Wonderland has been heartwarming as we think about all the children who will be warm this winter because of your generosity.

Raising funds is always one of the hard parts of our jobs at non-profits. But when we have a response as great as we have gotten so far this year — and anticipating more with a month left to go — it is rewarding, worthwhile work. We sincerely thank you for all you do for our neighbors in need.

I also want to acknowledge the dedication that my team have put into fundraising efforts this year. You have outdone yourselves.

We pledge to you that today and every day, we are careful stewards of your gifts, always stretching every dollar to its limits, always making sure we do as much as we can to help our youth grow strong, well-educated and responsible — always working to spread diversity, inclusion and equity throughout Delaware workplaces — and always collaborating with our partners to meet the needs of our neighbors in crisis, and more.

Your generous donations help us create a better Delaware for all of us. Thank you for Living United.
