You Fed Me

November 28, 2023

 

Dear MBCA Families:

 

Thanksgiving brought us another opportunity to remember how grateful we are for the generosity of our MBCA community and the enthusiasm our students have for serving others.

And as you probably know, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is #GivingTuesday, a day of giving recognized around the world which has grown into a powerful global movement. MBCA is proud to participate in this special day which encourages people to do good!

On this #GivingTuesday, MBCA is raising money to support our annual You Fed Me event to be held in early 2024. Every dollar raised today goes to support people in desperate situations and presents our students with a special opportunity to serve as the hands and feet of Christ. You Fed Me brings students from JK - 12th together to help eradicate world hunger for some of the world's most vulnerable populations. 

Our goal this year is to pack 75,000 meals ($30,000), so we need your support! Gifts of all sizes will make an impact on our efforts to provide meals to those in areas affected by war, poverty, and natural disasters. The funds for You Fed Me come from donations within our community, including student-organized fundraisers. On this Giving Tuesday, we are asking our families to prayerfully consider partnering with us to provide these invaluable meals. 

If you've ever had the opportunity to volunteer during one of our You Fed Me meal-packing days, you know why it is such a beloved tradition. We look forward to sharing more about You Fed Me in the New Year.

Thank you!
