COMMUNITY CONNECTION SUPPORTING FAMILIES IN NEED
FEB 2022 | Vol.3 | Week 4
Hello Bambinos Builders, Prayer Partners, Clients, and Friends... We have exciting news! We were just notified that the Dallas Community Foundation, (a wonderful ongoing resource for many local nonprofits, including Bambinos), has awarded us a grant for $3,400.00, which will entirely cover our start-up cost for our new database! It will ALSO cover our monthly fee for the entire 2022 calendar year! We are beyond thrilled to have this weight lifted off our shoulders, as we had already established our annual budget numbers before this opportunity arose. We stepped out in faith to start the process, knowing that the Lord was clearly leading us in this direction and He already had the funds waiting in the wings. HUGE thanks go to:
The Dallas Community Foundation for their generosity and faith in what we do here.
Mia Mohr for working tirelessly with grant applicants to make sure what we mean is what we say and that we put our best foot forward in the application process.
Julianne Paul recently joined our team to offer help with our grant writing process.
And thank you all for your continued prayers and support as we endeavor to embody our core values: 1. Ability to freely share the love of Christ with clients 2. Faithful stewardship 3. Safety of our clients 4. Hospitality In His service, The Bambinos Board of Directors Glenda J. Dunaway Executive Director
AMAZON SHOPPING? Also, a friendly reminder with Christmas shopping upon us...there’s another easy way for you to help! Simply access your Amazon account by shopping through Smile.Amazon.com when doing your normal purchasing. All your account information will stay the same, but Amazon agrees to put 0.5% of your purchase amount towards the charity of your choice. Just select Bambinos Or in the upper left hand corner to make us the charity of choice. It's that easy. Another great way to help us while shopping on Amazon is to just add a pack of diapers and/or wipes to any order and have it shipped to us! We appreciate any way that help is given. When we as the Bambinos board lists the people and things we're most thankful for this Thanksgiving season, you're on our list!
HELP SUPPORT BAMBINOS We are always in need of people who can pledge to send us a monthly gift that we can put toward our expenses. We call these wonderful people "Bambinos Builders." A pledge as little as $5 per month can still make a big difference.
