Hello! We are West Central Missouri Community Action Agency/New Growth, a non-profit organization that helps many low-income families and individuals in Missouri in a variety of ways.
Last year alone we served over 10,500 customers. Over 111 homes repaired & weatherized, over 6,000 households received LIHEAP (Low-Income Housing Energy Assistance Program), over 5,800 rides were provided, 2,236 persons received food distributions and over 397 persons moved into our low-income multifamily housing properties.
With current government funding, many of our programs are at risk of losing much needed support. This not only affects the people we serve, but our employees who work tirelessly helping our customers. We are looking for more unrestricted funding sources to keep our life changing programs running efficiently and effectively.
Along with our Festival of Charites we put on in the fall, we will be hosting a fundraiser called “Bingo for Kiddos”. This event will be held at Olde Crow Winery in Clinton, MO on September 20, 2024 beginning at 6:00 pm. There will be food, drinks, games such as “music bingo”, a comedian, prizes, raffles and so much more! All proceeds raised go directly into the above-mentioned programs but more specifically to provide holiday and birthday gifts for kiddos in our region that would otherwise not receive gifts.
If you are interested in donating a prize for the games, silent auction item, or making a cash donation, we would truly appreciate your generosity! We will mention your business or name on social media, in the newspaper, on event literature, and provide receipts for tax deduction purposes. We are including a brochure about our agency and the resources we provide with this letter.
Let us know how we may be of assistance to you or your business as well. We love building community partnerships and friendships. We truly appreciate you for taking the time to consider helping us! Please feel free to call or email with any questions.
Respectfully,
West Central Missouri Community Action Agency
