Next Tuesday and Wednesday, May 3 and 4, Acts 4 Ministry will seek donations during the Connecticut Community Foundation’s “Give Local Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills” 36-hour on-line community giving challenge that will help local area non-profits raise funds. The “Give Local” campaign begins at 7:30 a.m. on Tuesday, and ends at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday.
“Every dollar donated to Acts 4 during the campaign will be enhanced with bonus funds donated to our not-for-profit organization by the Connecticut Community Foundation (CCF) and their ‘Give Local’ sponsors. The more private donations Acts 4 Ministry receives, the more our organization will be eligible to win bonus cash prizes,” stated Sarah Elizabeth Carabetta, executive director of Acts 4 Ministry, Inc.
“Acts 4 Ministry is not a church. We are a collaborative group of a volunteer board of directors, staff members and a multitude of volunteers who desire to share God’s love by meeting the physical needs of others. We achieve this goal daily on many levels by collecting and distributing, free-of-charge to recipients, clothing and housewares with an accommodating furniture program through volunteerism. Each year we distribute clothing to nearly 4,000 people, and over 1,000 pieces of furniture and housewares to people of varying income levels throughout the Greater Waterbury area,” explained Carabetta.
During the “Give Local” campaign, Acts 4 Ministry will seek donations to support their ‘sleep well’ campaign to ensure all residents-in-need throughout the region receive their own personal bed sets. In 2015, during the “Give Local” campaign, Acts 4 was able to provide 30 new bed sets.
