5 Ways to Support Calvary in January

The new year has begun and Calvary Women’s Services has new ways for you to support our mission! From serving meals to becoming an event sponsor, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved.

SIGN UP TO MEAL VOLUNTEER

Calvary needs volunteers to provide warm, nutritious meals to women in our programs this month! These meals are an essential part of our mission to ensure that women can focus on transforming their lives without worrying about where their next meal will come from. New Foundations and Reach Up, two programs that serve survivors of domestic violence, are looking for both one-time meal drop-offs and reoccurring volunteers to provide meals each month.

This is a great activity for your family, groups of friends, coworkers, or congregations! You can sign up to be a meal volunteer by clicking here.

BECOME A PARTNER FOR TOMORROW

Our Partners for Tomorrow program unites a dedicated group of donors who financially support the women at Calvary Women’s Services each month. Generous program members give anywhere from $10 to $1,000 every month to meet the tangible needs of women in our programs.

As we start the new year, Calvary is working to add 50 new donors to this program to ensure women seeking safe housing have everything they need this winter. You can help us reach our goal by joining Partners for Tomorrow here.

SHOP FOR GOOD

Did you know that Calvary has a merch store? You can purchase t-shirts, sweatshirts, and mugs with Calvary’s inspiring message. As a bonus, a percentage of proceeds from each purchase directly supports women in our programs! Shop for good in our store by clicking here.

ASK ABOUT HOPE GALA SPONSORSHIP

Calvary’s annual Hope Gala is happening the last week of April! Each year dozens of individual and corporate partners sponsor this event to make it our largest fundraiser of the year. If you or your organization are interested in becoming an event sponsor, please reach out to Lisa Buchs, Director of Institutional Giving, via email (lbuchs@calvaryservices.org) to learn more.

DONATE HOPE GALA AUCTION ITEMS

Another way to get involved in this year’s Hope Gala is to donate items or experiences for our silent and live auctions. This part of Calvary’s fundraiser allows attendees to bid on unique meals, tickets to sporting events or concerts, trips to the beach or mountains, signed merchandise from celebrities, and more – with proceeds directly supporting women who are working to end their homelessness for good.

If you have an item or experience that you would like to donate, please contact Emily Kubera, Development Associate, via email (ekubera@calvaryservices.org) today.
