Thank you LHCC Supporters
Happy New Year and welcome to 2020. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting Learning Help Centers of Charlotte this year as we continue to serve immigrant and refugee children and their families here in our Queen City
Here are a few examples of our accomplishments and milestones this year:
- We increased our family engagement by over 60% as we commenced providing services to parents across a broad spectrum of topics from assimilation to immigration
- We served over 150 children over the summer and during the school year
- Parents like Glenda and Sugey managed to provide increased oversight of the homework and reading requirements of her three children
- Children like Karina and Shaila truly embarked upon an improved English reading regimen and have now started reading to their younger siblings
Many people have helped raise a significant portion of our Learning Help Centers of Charlotte operating budget. For every dollar raised over 95 cents goes directly towards providing scholastic, spiritual and social supports to families mired in generational poverty.
If you’re thinking of making a year-end gift to LHCC, don’t do it just because we are celebrating our 8th year of existence in 2020:
Do it because you want to see more children succeeding in public schools
Do it because we have many benevolence requests at this time of year. Families in need of reliable transportation, out of work or under-employed, and simply need a hand up. We are building a benevolence fund with a goal of $5,000 in 2020.
Do it because you love to hear feedback from volunteers who are sharing their expertise and being beacons of hope for the next generation
Do it because most families would never be able to afford what we provide in the form of education and encouragement, at a local church and close to where they live and go to school
Your reasons for giving at the end of the year should inspire you. We hope that your love for our neighbors and the communities we serve does just that and that you feel good about the social good we are providing as a trusted community partner. We believe that good works lead to goodwill that leads to good news and that hope is oftentimes more important than building vocabulary.
Thank you again for all that you do for Learning Help Centers of Charlotte, and we wish you a Merry Christmas and fantastic 2020
