Campaign Leadership
Dear Friends:
Children and teens from throughout our community are hurting. Many are the victims of physical or sexual abuse, others struggle with substance abuse or need counseling services, still, others seek a “last chance” opportunity for an education.
Thankfully Wedgwood Christian Services continues as a beacon of hope for these children and teens. We offer community-based, residential and educational services to promote the emotional and physical well-being of our clients, and we do it with a distinctively, faith-based perspective that values every child as one of God’s treasured children.
Wedgwood is now embarking on a campaign to accomplish three objectives:
- Improve our services to effectively meet the challenges of our kids
- Rehab aging facilities to ensure a safe environment for our kids
- Secure our future so we can provide love and care to future generations
Providing a warm, welcoming and professional environment is a top priority of our leadership team and our Board is in full support of this effort. Over the next year, a group of dedicated community leaders will be working hard to raise $6.5 million in charitable gifts to meet these goals. As a result of this effort and in partnership with our community, Wedgwood will become even more effective at protecting children in our region while instilling them with the confidence that God loves them, knows them, and has a plan for their future.
We are now approaching our friends and supporters to seek your help in providing for our community’s most at-risk residents. Please join us in supporting the Faith In Our Future campaign as we seek to safeguard and care for children in our region.
Sincerely,
