Have a Heart Fundraising Update

Written by: Kate Snyder, Executive Assistant

With 3 weeks still to go in the Have a Heart for Hunger campaign, we are making terrific progress in reaching our goal of $30,000. As of this morning, we have raised $23,724.13, putting us 79% of the way to our goal. Hip Hip Hooray!

One of the wonderful things about this campaign is that it highlights the generosity of individuals in Pittsburgh. The money we raise during Have a Heart for Hunger doesn’t come from private foundations or government contracts, it comes from men and women all over Pittsburgh and beyond who give what they can – be it $5 or $5,000 – in support of this vital cause. $15,500 of the money we’ve raised so far has come from individual gifts; the rest from our faithful member congregations and local businesses.

And every dollar counts. Thanks to our anonymous donor, all gifts up to $30,000 will be matched, allowing your donation to go twice as far. To donate to the Have a Heart for Hunger campaign, please click here or send a check to:
