As the Matt Urban Center reaches the halfway mark, securing 25% of their $60,000 goal in the “Home for the Holidays” campaign, the community is invited to join in the effort with Giving Tuesday. Generously sponsored by Evans Bank and Rich Products, the campaign is making strides towards its ambitious objective.
Home for the Holidays Campaign
The Matt Urban Center is kicking off the holiday season by announcing a fundraising campaign, Home for the Holidays, for its critical human services programs that will run through December 31, 2023.
As the holiday season approaches, our thoughts go to the warmth and comfort of being home with our loved ones at this special time of year. For many, home means a warm, secure place with a strong roof and sealed windows and doors. It is a place where there is nutritious food for the whole family, where children are learning and thriving, and where elders have what they need to feel safe and comfortable as they age. Home is where we have dignity. Creating this sense of dignity is key to the mission of the Matt Urban Center.
