Dear Friends of Mission Arlington^®,

We know that your inboxes are full – from a variety of worthy non-profit teams – asking for your extra support on the upcoming North Texas Giving Day, this Thursday, September 19th, from 6:00 a.m. until Midnight.

We want you to know that 1) we are also a recipient on this important day, and that 2) your extra financial support truly makes a difference.

 WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR YOU! 

Our Work Reflects Your Heart

When you give financially, or items that people need, we can, in turn, pay someone’s rent, provide diapers & formula for young families, supply nice clothes, so that people can work, or so that students can go to school. We can also distribute healthy food for families who are literally, physically hungry – hundreds of people every day, and school supplies, so that students in families with a little less can start the year like everyone else.

People can also receive care here from a physician, a dentist, or a professional therapist too, along with the prescriptions people need to feel better. Families can gather around their table with a Thanksgiving meal, and children will have Christmas gifts under their tree, because of your extraordinary care. We like to say it this way: “God gives. You give. We give.” We truly believe it, because we see your generosity at work every day.

Your Gifts Get to the People

Our low administrative overhead is documented at 1.47 percent, meaning that more than 98.5 cents of every dollar you give ministers directly to people in need. We believe that every person should be treated with “dignity and respect.” Our hope is to share God’s love with everyone we meet and to provide actual help that matters. Did you know that every service from Mission Arlington is provided “free of charge?”
