Need your help to reach our $20,000 Goal!
A little friendly competition never hurts. In fact, it has helped us to raise the funds needed to receive a matching gift from the North Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church. About $5,500 has been raised so far. Most of the donations to meet the match were spearheaded by the challenge in a friendly competition among staff and three ZWHJCOC Cash Flow classes. Our major fundraising goal is to raise $20,000, however, by raising at least $5,000, we will receive a matching gift of $5,000 from the North Texas Annual Conference.
The Zan Wesley Holmes Jr. Community Outreach Center would love to hear from you today with a donation to help us continue our work, serving those who rely on our services and providing resources for our staff and volunteers to continue forging ahead.
In the past few weeks, the ZWHJCOC team has helped 30+ small businesses apply for and receive $230,000 in SBA relief grants. The results of those sessions were:
- 34 businesses assisted with Payroll Protection Plan or Economic Injury Disaster Loan programs
- 6 businesses received the Payroll Protection Plan
- 7 businesses received the Economic Injury Disaster Loan
Funds received will help service more individuals and businesses that need economic guidance, as well as help to build our online platform to engage with the community in a new way. We hope to continue the work of our Lunch & Learn series which provides classes on finances, managing credit, real estate, wills, taxes, fraud prevention, grant writing, and so much more, plus our successful Low Voltage training programs, and other learning opportunities provided by our community partners.
Through its programs and services, the ZWHJCOC and its partners served 4,382 individuals from June 2018 to October 18, 2019.
Please consider making a gift to the Zan Wesley Holmes Jr. Community Outreach Center to ensure that our work continues in our community.
