The Season of Giving--Bethany House

'TIS THE SEASON FOR GIVING

Do you own or manage a local business? Would you like to help homeless mothers and children? How about you organize an event or promotion at your place of business to benefit the Bethany House?

Bethany House residences provide safe, supportive, emergency housing and a comprehensive range of additional programs and resources to support families and return them to self-sufficiency. Bethany ‘s five homes are located in Baldwin, Bellmore and Roosevelt and can service up to 85 persons nightly.

RESTAURANT: you could make one meal a week for The Bethany House (enough to feed 25-30 women and children). Or you could hold a charity event/dance/casino night/psychic night, etc.

CLOTHING/ RETAIL STORE: hold a "Bethany Sale" where some percentage of your proceeds will go to The Bethany House.

MARKET or FOOD STORE: hold a food/goods drive for the items we are most in need of (we will supply you with a list).

 

These are just some of our ideas. If you are interested in helping, or have some ideas of your own to share, please contact Jane McCabe at: Janemccabe@bhny.org

Thank you for your generosity!

Have a blessed Holiday Season.
