Dear Friends:
I want very much to tell you how very grateful we are for your gift. So much can be done because of your support.
Thanks to donors like you, we can provide food, health care, clean water, and sanitation to people who struggle just to survive. With your help, we can assist thousands of refugees, build schools, and support literacy programs. We also support relief and recovery efforts following a disaster.
Because of your gift, Church World Service brings hope to thousands of people around the world each day. May God bless you for your heart-felt generosity.
Faithfully yours,
Rev. John L. McCullough
Executive Director and CEO
We would say the answer is a resounding “yes”; what would you say? This aid went to Haiti where it was most needed.
