No Gimmicks. Just a Simple Ask.

Written By Joel Furrow

Dear Friend,

Today many worthy nonprofits, ministries and great causes will be working for your attention. Just after black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday.

It’s a lot. We get it.

As you are considering how and where to give, we would be honored if you would consider a generous gift to The Root Cellar.

Since starting in 1984, we have kept our doors open to welcome anyone in need - all possible because of individuals like you. Just like the boy with the 5 loaves of bread and the 2 fish, we have seen Jesus multiply the generosity of so many gifts of all amounts. Each gift extends the our work to vulnerable neighbors in need.

Your gift will meet very practical daily needs for our ministry - like our heating costs.

This winter, it will cost $80 per day to heat both of our buildings.

Your gift will continue to ensure a warm space for our neighbors to be welcomed into a community rooted in the love of Christ. Children will be mentored, teens will work, adult immigrant neighbors will learn English, and families will have an abundance of food - all through your generous giving.

We’d be honored if you chose The Root Cellar this Giving Tuesday. Simply CLICK HERE to give today.

With Gratitude,

Joel Furrow, Executive Director
