During the last two years, CAM has continued to do incredible work serving the needs of our clients who have been made more vulnerable by Covid and the challenge of the world-wide crisis; never shutting our doors during these unprecedented times. Our staff and Board have been inspired by the book, Love Does, by Bob Goff. It is truly amazing to see local examples of what love has done.
As part of the COVID response, CAM became a main homeless HUB for the city of San Antonio. We are part of an effort to serve and now strategically help the most vulnerable unsheltered street homeless. COVID has taught us many lessons and as a part of a city effort to address the issue of homelessness, our emphasis has been to serve the chronic and most difficult cases. In addition, CAM continues to help the working poor get back on their feet with assistance for utilities, prescriptions, ID’s and basic needs (food and clothing). As you can imagine, much of this assistance has doubled. We have those that were already very vulnerable and now new individuals struggling to make ends meet, as the cumulative effect of this crisis is felt. We also recognize that the rise in the cost of commodities, including food and gas continues to make this year concerning.
In the Spirit of love does, we are asking you to support CAM, much like you have done in the past, as we host an Un-Gala in 2022. We hope you will consider a donation/sponsorship for the work we do without having to attend or organize a table. We feel that hosting an in-person gala takes away too much time and energy from the staff and we wish to make it a priority to continue to serve clients whose needs have increased.
Please consider purchasing a mock table or sponsorship to lend your name, support and financial help to the ministry. Much like an in-person gala your support will be recognized on our website, through social media, through stories of help and hope as we share what and how we work. Finally, those that send their support now will be included on the Un-Gala invite that will be sent out in the summer of 2022. One of the perks is that 100% of the donation will go to the people we serve.
Once again, thank you for your past support of CAM and we hope that you will help us with a sponsorship for our What Love Does Un-Gala. Click here to view the levels of sponsorship. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Dawn White-Fosdick at dwhite@cam-sa.org or (210) 563-1877.
