Giving Tuesday 2017 – WE DID IT!
November 29, 2017 by BFC in BFC Updates Development Fundraising
You’ve left us speechless. When we reached out to you in solidarity with our community in need, you stepped up more than ever before! On #GivingTuesday, we raised $40,597 — every dollar of which will go straight to making sure that DC families have food on the table, a roof over their heads, and a warm and happy holiday season.
PLUS, we more than met our $20,000 matching challenge, AND then even met a bonus $10,000 match! This means an extra check is in the mail from a generous donor.
What will we do with this extra $30,000? We’re so glad you asked!
- 73 hours of legal assistance will help stop evictions, protect families from domestic violence, and secure disability benefits.
- 74 people seeking jobs and affordable housing will work with our social services team to overcome barriers
- 86 patients will receive comprehensive health care, including pediatric, dental, and behavioral health.
- 140 people will cook 4,375 healthy meals with groceries from our food pantries.
We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you again and again for your kind-hearted generosity.
