We are thankful on this Thursday! We are grateful for the support of our holiday wish list. There is still time to be a holiday hero for a child staying at the UMD shelter. Please take a look at our wish list and choose a gift today❤️

TODAY's matching gift deadline:

Thank you to all who attended Wednesday's Holiday Luncheon. Your support helps carry the mission forward and reminds us that together we have the power to solve homelessness.

Your generosity is saving lives—and now it can go twice as far! Thanks to The Bart Ehrman Foundation (see www.ehrmanblog.org) and another anonymous donor, every gift made TODAY will be matched dollar for dollar.

As you consider your gift—whether $100, $1,000, or $10,000—please give out of your abundance so UMD can expand its impact and save lives. Because of what you choose to do right now, our homeless neighbors can sleep in warmth tonight.

Together, we can double the impact and extend a hand up to those seeking refuge and a brighter future. Thank you for your compassion and commitment to UMD.

Our elves are working overtime this year! Unfortunately, some stockings are still empty, and we only have a few more days
to fill them. December 17th to be precise. What better time to play Santa than right now? Just go to our Amazon or Walmart Wishlist and select from an array of gifts "for kids from 1 to 92."

There are many gifts to choose from—just waiting to be purchased for individuals and families staying at UMD.

Your generosity and thoughtfulness will do more than make a single day special. It will fill a need throughout the new year.

Please share to help us bring a bit more hope and joy this season!
