The Bellringer: Ringing against Injustice

Thursday, December 12, 2024

Dear friend,

We are so grateful for the incredible generosity of our Allendale family! We’re excited to share that we have already received $219,521 in pledges! New members and first-time pledgers have already pledged over $25,000 toward our mission. Your faith in our work and community is deeply inspiring.

However, we’ve also noticed there are several members who pledged last year but haven’t yet made a commitment for this year. That accounts for approximately $75,000—a significant piece of what allows us to sustain our ministries and plan for the future.

Making a pledge, no matter the amount, helps us dream boldly and act faithfully. It’s a tangible way to support the ministries that nurture our community, advocate for justice, and create a sanctuary for all.

If you’ve already pledged, thank you! Your generosity builds the foundation for everything we do. If you haven’t pledged yet, we invite you to join this movement of love and transformation. Every pledge, large or small, makes a meaningful difference.
