The holiday season is fast approaching. It is one of my favorite times
of the year and I look forward to sharing the season with
you and the rest of my family and friends. Everybody is busily working on
their wish list for holiday gifts and we here at IFPCC have been thinking about ours, too.
So, instead of buying a present for us this year, I hope you will consider
making a contribution to help families in need. But a donation to help get a child, teen, mom, dad, and/or their pets something to open would mean the world to us. Imagine how good you will feel knowing YOU helped give a family a chance to give there children a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner and knowing that the help YOU gave enabled us to give more gifts to families worried about how they are going to have a Christmas.The holiday season is traditionally a time for giving. This year, as you
review all of the many requests you receive, I hope you will consider giving
a gift that will make a difference for these families and pets. Please bring, send in, or call for pick up of donations. We will be taking offerings for food for the Holidays, gifts to be handed out to different age ranges, and also unwanted items that you may have around your home that we may be able to put into our yard sale to raise money for medical and other needs. Also be sure to ask friends and neighbors, they just may have something that could help.
Items will first be looked at to see if any of the families on our list could use them before they get sold. If you know of any families that we may be able to assist this season please let us know and we will make sure they get help.
We
are ALWAYS taking donations of pet food (Dog-Puppy, Cat-Kitten, Bird), pet
beds, gift certificates to pet stores, blankets and
of course TOYS, TOYS, TOYS.To help contribute toward their immediate medical and/or shelter needs of these pets please set up a donation today.Your donation makes a real difference.
FURNITURE/HOUSEHOLD GOODS DONATIONS: HELP NEEDY FAMILIES
Furniture donation is
especially critical for low income families who are forced to make difficult
choices between buying food, furniture, prescription drugs, childrens clothes,
or school supplies.
If you
have furniture or household items that no longer fit your lifestyle, but
are still usable, there are literally millions of people who could use your
furniture donation.
When you
donate furniture and household items, they not only get a second chance, they
can also give the recipients a feeling of security, comfort, and home. Your
furniture donation, for example, can help formerly homeless people who are
transitioning to housing, the working poor who don't have enough income left
over after paying for necessities, elderly people on fixed incomes, abused women
who leave their situation and seek new shelter, families who have lost
possessions or their homes to fire or other disasters, struggling college
students, refugees from war-torn countries who resettle in the United States,
and people who have lost their jobs.
Your
sofa donation may mean a child does not have to sleep on the floor; a kitchen
table and chairs may mean a family can eat together; a desk gives a child a
place to do homework; a blender means an elderly person can better prepare
meals. Your furniture donation is not only good for people; donated furniture
also stays out of our overflowing landfills. Learn how you can make a difference
with your furniture donation today.
Some organizations will pick up donated furniture
and household items, while others ask you to drop
them off. It may be inconvenient or even impossible
for you to transport your donated furniture (not
everyone has an appropriate vehicle or the help
necessary to move such items), and it is also true
that some worthy organizations do not always have
the extra funds and/or volunteer power to make
pickups. If you want to donate furniture to IFPCC please call and we WILL do our very best to arrange or schedule a pick up of your donation.
You
may want to ask family members, friends, neighbors,
or coworkers as well. Perhaps they will have
furniture or household goods to donate!
By
helping children and families living in such extreme poverty caused by
disaster or homelessness we can enable them to experience the fullness
of life God offers.

 Gypsy
In
the beginning of 2008, IFPCC established the Gypsy Fund. Named after a
tiny
feral kitten that we found abandoned by her parents. When Gypsy was
discovered trapped inside an interior wall of a house, the owners
allowed us to cut a hole in the wall and her wonderful life was saved!.
The Gypsy Fund has enabled us to rescue and rehabilitate several
severely injured or abandoned cats.
The Gypsy Fund has been made possible by the generous help of our
donors. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Gypsy
Fund!
Call if you would like to arrange for a training to become a Certified
Animal Chaplain, or if you would like to register your home to be a
rescue home for an animal!
Denver
When
our original mascot -Denver- died after 18 1/2 years of faithful
service to abused and abandoned children, we established the Denver
Fund for dogs to help families with their sick or Injured dogs. You
have seen his picture (sleeping peacefully) in Chapter 10, page 21 of
our Advanced Chaplaincy Training Manual. When the IFPCC family found
out he passed away, the outpouring of love and sharing of similar
stories, inspired us to establish the Denver Fund. Our Certified Animal
Chaplains want to make sure that other families would have an
opportunity to get the food, comfort, shelter and/or medical help they
needed for their family's best friend and protector. The Denver Fund
has also been made possible by the generous help of our donors. Please
consider making a tax-deductible donation to the Denver Fund today! Call if you would like to arrange for a training to become a Certified
Animal Chaplain, or if you would like to register your home to be a
rescue home for an animal!Kahuna and Capt. Jack
You donations will make you a vital member of the team that's helping
keep pets AND our communities alive.
