GEMS’ December Newsletter
Dear Friend,
We have a lot to be grateful for at GEMS. Thanks to supporters like you, more than $25,000 were raised in our matching-gift challenge–which means that every dollar was doubled by two anonymous donors. We can’t thank you enough for this. During this time of year, donations support everything from clothing, housing, access to educational and employment training, to thoughtful holiday gifts to remind the girls and young women we serve that they are cared for, loved, and that people are thinking of them. . . .
. . . For those looking for creative ways to support GEMS, check out our Facebook and Twitter–we’re updating constantly about fundraising events and benefits that supporters like you are conducting on behalf of GEMS.
