The Mission of Love Charities has formed the Industry Sponsors Council (ISC) to provide support utilizing committed friends and stakeholders who will work together to raise funds and explore opportunities for partnership in the community.
Why the Mission Needs Your Support
The mission of Mission of Love Charities (The Mission) has always been to serve homeless and low-income families and individuals in the community.
Mission of Love Charities programs and services provide basic needs assistance in the form of food, financial assistance for rent and other housing costs, clothing, furniture, showers, laundry, computer access. Mission of Love Charities is also planning on re-instituting its Workforce Development program.
Everyone served shows proof that they are at or below 150% of federal poverty guidelines. Again, we serve the poor and needy.
We are reaching out to friends and colleagues in the community to organize a formal support group called the Industry Sponsors Council. Corporations, foundations and individuals who choose to join the Council will make a commitment to support Mission of Love Charities through financial donation and actions that help sustain the work of Mission of Love Charities.
Since its inception, The Mission has successfully supported about 400,000 individuals and families and we want to support more. However, over the last several months, the destructive effects of the pandemic have created a dramatic increase in the number of individuals and families who come to Mission of Love Charities in desperate need of help.
How You Can Help
To sustain our work and help these people in dire need, The Mission is reaching out to the community to engage supporters and stakeholders, to partner with us by joining the Industry Sponsors Council. We know these current and prospective partners share our values and commitment to our community and to the people in need of assistance in our community.
What the Mission is Doing
Giving levels for the Sponsors Council are as follows:
Corporate Member…….$10,000
Industry Member…….$15,000
Founding Member…….$20,000
Sponsors and Members of the Council will be recognized with annual certificates documenting their commitment and support to one of the leading organizations serving the most needy and vulnerable people in the Prince George’s community.
Newly committed Council Members will be joining the ranks of others who are providing significant support to Mission of Love Charities. Among those agencies, foundations and corporations that are already supporting Mission of Love Charities are: Prince George’s County Government, the State of Maryland, the University of Maryland Capital Region Health System, Sam Brin, Philip Graham Fund, Greater Washington Community Foundation, Big Lots Foundation, TJX Foundation, Albertsons Foundation, Easterns Automotive and Urban Investment Partners.
