Fundraising is at the heart of every nonprofit organization. It is the source from which we draw on to provide services to those who otherwise could not make it without our help.  Thank you for your generous acts of giving that enables us to change lives.


  

There are many ways that you can help:

Sponsorship

Various levels of sponsorships are available, for example, help us bring awareness at fundraising events; homeless veterans’ hygiene kits; homeless veteran’s winter supply (sleeping bag, food, etc.); and transportation.  Contact us to hear many more items that you can sponsor.

Join our Friends for Cause Spare Change? Campaign and the 365 Club Campaign

Help us to raise funds by collecting spare change in your household and donating it to Wishing Well.  You can also promote the campaign to friends, neighbors and co-workers by (a) asking them to do the same; (b) issuing pass-along Spare Change? Campaign cards; and (c) posting a promotional sign in your front yard.  The idea behind Spare Change? is that when given the opportunity, friends will gladly give their spare change to support a worthy cause.  Scroll over the Get Involved navigation button above for more information on the Spare Change? Campaign.

 

Volunteer

Volunteering for a worthy cause is both honoring and gratifying.  We ask you to volunteer at Wishing Well fundraising and other events.  These may include car wash; food and clothes drive; walkathon or other sports activities; Stand Down (a 1-4 day veteran relief event); soup kitchen; benefit dinner/gala; activities that require skilled labor; and others.  Help us spread the word by promoting this great cause.

IN MY STEPS

 

We welcome stories from veterans who have recovered from homelessness and/or Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and other challenges.  We also encourage family members to share their experiences.  An account of how you overcame will help to inspire and give hope to others. We may also offer you opportunities to motivate others by speaking at Wishing Well workshops or other functions.
