We are hosting a Christmas Dinner to celebrate and elevate advocates - this could include anyone who works in social services, those who work with those experiencing homelessness, incarceration, abuse, navigating the foster care system - we know that these ADVOCATES work long hours, that it is often thankless and underpaid work.
When our JUSTICE + MERCY had our meeting 2 weeks ago - one of the ways we began dreaming of how to do the work we want to do was to come alongside those who are doing the work. We have so much to learn from these individuals and I believe the way to begin is to support them as they are on the front lines with those on the margins.
So our dinner and celebration is going to be December 15th at 7:00 PM and we are going to have a chance to celebrate these ADVOCATES and each advocate is going to be able to invite one client. We will then work with each advocate to provide either essentials or Christmas gifts for their clients. We are excited about the possibilities of celebrating the advocate and meeting a tangible need of the clients.
SO, 2 ways to engage…
Give to the FUND! We have set a goal of raising $3,500 for this event including food, drinks, and gifts and essentials for the clients
BUY a ticket for the event! This will go toward your entrance, an advocate, and their client. If you don't know someone or want to sponsor and advocate that will be an option on the form.
