Partnerships

Community Ministry Values all of our Partners!

Together we can make a difference.

 

Corporate

We have been partnering with the community to meet basic needs since 1968 and would love to have you join us in our mission. We are always looking for new collaborators to help us sustain the resources our community needs to thrive.

Ideas for Partnership

Support from community and corporate partners is a significant component in Community Ministry’s collaborative work to meet basic needs.

Consider these possibilities:

Event Support

  • Sponsor  and/ or attend one of our fundraising events
    • Celebration of the Heart – Annual gala
    • Footsteps4Food (annual 5k walk/run) – put together a team to participate
    • Caring by Candlelight (Ladies only Christmas Tea)
  • Donate a  Silent Auction item to Celebration of the Heart or Caring by Candlelight

Corporate Support

  • Bring your team for a wonderful team building opportunity with groups from 5-10 . Serve by helping sort, work in our garden or assist in other projects.
  •  Apply for matching gift funds to increase your donation.
  • Create a custom giving program for your company to actively respond to hunger in our community.
  • Peer-to-Peer Fundraising: Launch a Peer-to-Peer campaign for a corporate drive with your team, vendors and partnering agencies.
  • Workplace Giving  - Encourage corporations on directed workplace giving campaigns and matching funds for employee giving.
