“This November will mark 119 years of service to the community. To celebrate
this milestone the Clara White Mission will kick-off the Inaugural “Preserving
the Legacy on Ashley Street” to benefit our programs serving the homeless,
veterans and low-income families. Starting now through December 31, our goal is
to raise $150,000. All proceeds and contributions from this campaign will allow
the Clara White Mission to continue changing lives through our holistic
sustainable initiatives.
We invite you to make visible difference and commit to a Legacy Gift. In the
upcoming year, support from the campaign will provide 160,000 daily meals,
snacks, vocational training, and safe secure housing to the homeless. The Clara
White Mission is much more than a soup kitchen, it is a community development
center that positively impacts lives. Our motto Food for today. Skills for
life, represents our continuing transformation as a one-stop safety-net
facility.
A yearly or monthly commitment will enable the Mission to continue outreach
efforts that provide a hand up, not a hand out to homeless, veterans, and
low-income members of our community. Can we count on you too for a Legacy Gift?
