Friends and supporters,
Thanks to you, this year's Jersey Mike's Day of Giving raised $138,947!
If we could shout thanks from the rooftops, I would! Because of you, kids, families, and seniors continue to receive important and vital services through over 30 programs and services!
Thanks so much to all of the local Jersey Mike’s Subs in the Capital District, Mohawk Valley, and North Country - and to their incredibly dedicated and hard-working staff for everything they did to make this the most successful Day of Giving yet!
Again, our deepest thanks for showing up - grabbing a sub and making a difference!
But this isn't all I have to give thanks for today.
This month we celebrate the heart of our organization: our volunteers!
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every volunteer for your incredible support and dedication to CAPTAIN CHS and the people we serve. Thanks to your hard work and selfless commitment, we have been able to make a real difference in the lives of so many individuals and families in our community.
The work of our volunteers has been instrumental in helping us to fulfill our mission and provide essential services to those who need them most. Whether you have delivered emergency food supplies at our Emergency Food & Hygiene Pantry, or mentored school-aged kids through Homework Help at Cheryl's Lodge, or helped with fundraising events, you've made a significant impact on the lives of those we serve.
Your kindness and generosity have not gone unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for your time, talents, and treasures. We could not do this important work without volunteers like you, who are willing to roll their sleeves and give of themselves to help others.
So, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all that you do. We appreciate you more than words can say, and we look forward to continue our work together lifting people up and building brighter futures.
With my heartfelt gratitude,
Andy Gilpin Executive Director
