Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Over the last eight years, ANC has been developing and delivering innovative and neighborhood-based programs to increase access to:
Over 7,500 people participated in ANC programs and activities in 2007 alone!
In order to continue the good work we do and to craft new initiatives in response to emerging challenges, we ask that you consider supporting us in one of two ways:
Your gift of time or money is precious to us, and, frankly, makes it possible for us to continue to do the work we do.
Financial Support: A check or cash in any amount will help to sustain the Center’s operations.
We know how strapped our neighbors are in these tough economic times, and appreciate any financial help you can offer. If 150 neighbors gave us $10 (or if 15 neighbors donated $100), it would pay a month’s rent. Small amounts add up, and, for a penny-wise operation like ANC, no amount is too small.
Volunteering at ANC: Volunteers are an essential part of nearly everything we do here. We benefit from a long tradition of neighborhood involvement on the Eastside, and depend on volunteers to work with us to make this a healthy and livable place.
Whether you choose to volunteer a couple hours a month in our brand new Hunter Park GardenHouse (and learn about greenhouse gardening in the process!), volunteer at the Allen Street Farmers Market (starting back up in mid-May), help deliver the Eastside Neighbor, or join the Outreach, Engagement, and Communications team in canvassing the neighborhood, we are grateful for whatever time you can give to us.
If you can help us out with a donation of money, please print out the form below and send it back to the Allen Neighborhood Center at the address provided. If you are sending a check, please make it payable to the Allen Neighborhood Center.
If you are interested in volunteering, please call or e-mail Jen Bradley, ANC's volunteer coordinator at (517) 999-3921, or jenb@allenneighborhoodcenter.org to get involved with one of our programs. Our volunteering page has a list of available opportunities and the descriptions of what we need neighbors to do. If you have a special skill or knowledge you would like to donate to the center that doesn't fit any of these descriptions—we'd like to hear from you too! Please contact Jen and let her know what you would like to do for us.
Thank you very much for your commitment to helping ANC continue its work to improve the quality of life on the Eastside.
