This project is “Community Kickstart (CK)” and will assist clients with unmet needs not addressed by other programs in our area.
Community Kickstart (CK) will purchase items for clients such as steel toe boots needed for a new job, a bed for someone who secured an apartment after experiencing homelessness, or even car insurance to allow the client to maintain transportation to and from work or school. WMCA is excited about the impact this fund will have on our most vulnerable community members, with its potential to move the needle from simply surviving to thriving.
We will use donations from our Kick Starters to fill requests. Due to lack of storage space, and to avoid any “inventory” we don’t need, we will accept monetary donations only. When you become a “kick starter” you only agree to receiving a weekly email. Share with others, donate, or hit delete if the request doesn’t move you – you are in the driver’s seat!
New requests for help will be emailed to our Kick Starters every Thursday and will include an update of previously funded asks. There will be links to donate in the email. WMCA believes that together we can create supportive relationships where families experience hope during times of distress, rather than having nowhere to turn.
Again, all we are asking is that you agree to a weekly email. We will not share your email or send unsolicited messages – just one Kick Start email per week. Many hands make light work – when added together, even small donations make a big impact!
