400+ Reasons Why You Should Start the New Year off With a Gift

Each year, many of us begin the New Year with a list of resolutions. Some of the most popular resolutions includelose weight, eat healthier,quit smoking, and volunteer to help others.

St. Madeleine Sophie’s Center is providing you with an opportunity to help you achieve at least one of your goals – volunteer to help others. The Center is always looking for time, talent, and treasure. Here are just a few ways that you can volunteer to help others:

• Volunteer Your Treasure. Make a one-time or recurring tax-deductible gift to the Center’s Annual Fund. The Center has an annual funding gap of $2,000 per student. The Center relies on gifts from friends and supporters to help bridge this gap.
