#GivingTuesday options

A few of the many options to contribute to a worthy Franklin cause today!

------------------


"Community.

A thriving town center.

Local businesses and services.

A gathering place.
The Franklin Downtown Partnership is hard at work revitalizing the center of town. We rely on memberships, sponsors and gifts to further our cause.
You can support the Franklin Downtown Partnership and 100% of your donation will go right back to the community. 
We know you have many worthy causes and groups vying for your charitable dollars. We hope you will consider giving to the FDP on this #GivingTuesday. We have a donation button on our website's homepage or you can donate using the button below.

Thank you,

The Franklin Downtown Partnership"

Donate to help the Franklin Food Pantry raise enough for 1,000 bags of groaceries

Our wish is that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your loved ones, and that you enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday in good cheer and with a festive spirit.

With all of the gifts checked off on your list, you saved the best for last. Today, #GivingTuesday, you can give the gift of hope to help a neighbor you may never have met. 
Hope that there will be an after-school snack. Hope that no one has to choose between paying for heat and buying food. Hope that hunger doesn't get in the way of making friends. Hope there is enough food in the house to make a lunch for school. 
Every bag of groceries our clients take home is full of hope. Our goal is to raise enough funds to fill 1,000 bags of groceries.

1,000 people. 294 children. 140 seniors. Your neighbors. Our community. Give them the gift of hope today, #GivingTuesday. Give now. 
For the donations already made and for those still to come, 
THANK YOU!

#GivingTuesday is right around the corner! Help FPAC light the stage!
#GivingTuesday is right around the corner! Help FPAC light the stage!

Please support FPAC and help us light the stage!

After Black Friday and after Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday allows each of us to step into the giving season with opportunities to support organizations that touch our lives throughout the year. 

Please support the Franklin Performing Arts Company as we continue to bring professional, family friendly entertainment to your backyard. Your gift to FPAC will allow us to purchase much needed lighting equipment to better light the stage for the year of performances ahead! 

Currently we are required to rent equipment to supplement what is now installed in THE BLACK BOX. FPAC's Giving Tuesday goal is $3,000 with which a spotlight, several instruments and lamps will be purchased.

Charles River Meadowlands & #GivingTuesday

Season's Greetings to All,

We have some great news to report. I recently had a follow-up meeting with the Board of Metacomet Land Trust. They have been supportive of the Meadowlands initiative from the start, particularly Susan Speers and Larry Rettman, who have attended all of our meetings and provided much valuable advice. Since we are not a registered 501 (c) 3 it is not really appropriate for us to raise funds to help with the Charles River Meadowlands initiative. 

However, Metacomet has indicated a willingness to continue to work with us. So, if anyone is willing or able to put a few dollars behind their commitment to the Charles River Meadowlands vision, the best way to support us is by either joining Metacomet or by sending along a donation and indicating that your gift should be applied to the Charles River Meadowlands project.

Today, "Giving Tuesday," is an especially appropriate day for taking action. Metacomet Land Trust joins with charities around the country to encourage giving through the #GivingTuesday campaign. Metacomet will be able to set up an earmarked account to support the endeavor. At the very least you will be helping the most active, independent voice for land protection in our area. Please go to metacometlandtrust.org for more information or simply donate here.

In other news, we had a very useful "workshop" in September at the First Universalist Society in Franklin. This meeting brought together town officials, planners, and others and generated useful input for a "vision" document. In early November I also met with the board of the Franklin Bellingham Rail Trail Committee to apprise them of our efforts and to open the door to coordinating our efforts in the future.

Last but not least, our legislators, Jeff Roy and Kevin Kuros are continuing to monitor the funds earmarked for this project in the state budget in an effort to get them moved toward the right people.

We will resume meeting monthly in the new year, at 6:30 PM, Dean Rm, First Universalist Soc. 262 Chestnut St, Franklin, MA.

The dates we have lined up are:
  • Tues. Jan 10
  • Tues. Feb 7
  • Tues Mar 7
  • Tues Apr 4
  • Tues May 2
In the event of inclement weather, feel free to call my cell phone – 508 560 3786.

Sincerely,

Alan Earls

You Saved the Best for Last

  
Dear Friends,
Our wish is that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your loved ones, and that you enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday in good cheer and with a festive spirit. 

With all of the gifts checked off on your list, you saved the best for last. Today, Giving Tuesday, you can give a gift to help a neighbor you may never have met.
We ask that you consider making a donation for one of the 322 children right here in your community who wouldn't have enough to eat without the Franklin Food Pantry.

We ask that you share this email with your friends and family so that we can meet our goal of 322 gifts today.

For the donations already made and for those still to come,

THANK YOU!
