Hi Family and Friends,

A few years back I may have shared with you that I was working with a Bay Area Non-Profit startup that was focused on helping families transition from homelessness, shelters, and foster care by "gathering friends" to provide basic essentials like beds and household items to furnish a home. I am excited to share that Grateful Gatherings has grown beyond a few gatherings a year, helping several families in Oakland, to over 7 Bay Area City Chapters hosting their own gatherings and benefitting many families over multiple gatherings a year. The current pandemic has not thwarted their resolve to help families and now as you can imagine, there are more families needing help. They've had to reinvent how we help families and I joined their current campaign to raise $50,000 to help 10 families. My goal is to help at least 1 family by raising $5000. Would you join my team?

Love,

Lauren
