Giving Tuesday and The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond

Today is Giving Tuesday – a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world.

Because 2024 marks the 40th Anniversary of The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond, we set a goal to raise $40,000 this fiscal year so that we can continue to better serve you, the members of the Center, and the greater Richmond community.

We have already raised $22,313. We need to raise an additional $17,687 by June 30, 2024, to meet our goal.

Won’t you consider donating $40 – or better yet, some multiple of $40 – on this Giving Tuesday?

With your help we will continue to transform the Richmond community, providing programs and services for older adults who wish to remain independent, active and engaged. (To see the full extent of the Center’s work, read the Annual Report here.)

Or you can call the office at 804-355-7282. Thank you for helping us achieve our goal!

Wishing you all the best for the holiday season,
Peter C. Pettit
President, Board of Directors
The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond

Another Giving Tuesday Message

Yes, it is yet another Giving Tuesday message from one of the many non-profit organizations in your email box today. But here we are, at the end of this shopping spree season, hoping you may contribute a bit to our mission. If you can send us a gift, that would be fantastic (here is the link to do that). If not, that is OK too.

Regardless of the above, we would love to extend an invitation to those who have not yet attended our Open University. We meet on Mondays and Thursdays starting January 13, 2020 (wow, 2020). Please come spend a day, free of charge, to see if it the program for you. The schedule will be out soon and available on this website (subscribe to the website to get the schedule link via email when it is available – you can do that on the right hand side of the website, just below our logo).

AND, we also invite you to volunteer to be a driver and help us ensure that Richmond seniors get to their medical appointments and grocery stores. It is an easy and rewarding way to give back to your community and some of our drivers feel that they are putting in their time now so they can cash in later, when they no longer can drive themselves. Find out more by watching our VIDEO. If it sparks your interest, please feel free to call and find out more (804-355-7282).

Thanks for your consideration (and for making it all the way through this message!). Wishing you a wonderful day and many more to come!

Don’t forget TSCOR when shopping on Amazon, please

Shopping sheepDuring the holiday shopping season, please go to Amazon Smile and choose The Shepherd’s Center of Richmond and shop as you always do.  Your shopping experience will be the same, but a portion of your purchase will be donated to TSCOR and every little bit makes a difference in the lives of seniors in Richmond.  And tell your friends too!

Thanks so much – Julie
