Spring Appeal

Dear Friends & Family,

With the fresh air of Spring comes a time of transformation, rejuvenation and new beginnings. Kambly is undergoing a transformation of our own. With the support of numerous foundation grants and your generous donations we are accomplishing a complete interior makeover.
A. All new carpeting in both living areas as well the stairwell and hallway on the 2nd floor.
B. New plank flooring in all of the dining rooms.
C. All new living room furniture as well as dining tables.
D. New resident computer desks with chairs.
E. A new updated kitchen – to be completed this year!

We have been extremely blessed with foundation grants which are for projects only. With that being said, what we NEED help with is the daily operation side of Kambly. That is where your generosity comes into play. Kambly’s policy has always been that room and board rates are based off our resident’s ability to pay. This does not cover the complete cost of care. We incur approximately a $7,000 per month shortfall in revenue taken in through room and board payments and what it actually costs to run our facility for one month. That is why we fundraise every year – the total shortfall for one year is a staggering $84,000.

Kambly is the ONLY non-profit adult foster care home in Battle Creek, but that is not the only way we are unique. We pride ourselves on making our residents and staff feel that they are part of something much bigger than a place to live or work – they are a part of the Kambly family.

We need your continued support to keep the legacy of founder Viola Kambly going strong for years to come. Please consider making a tax-deductible gift today or possibly a monthly gift through our website: https://kambly.org/donate.html might be more feasible to the vision that was started 76 years ago and still continues today.

You can also mail in a donation to:

Thank you for your loyal support – we appreciate you!

FOOD BANK CHALLENGE

April - May

April 1, 2022
Thank you for your past support of Kambly and the Food Bank of South-Central Michigan with your participation in the Food Bank Challenge!

As a non-profit organization, Kambly Living Center has the privilege of being able to utilize the services of the Food Bank of South-Central Michigan. The Food Bank is conveniently located in the Industrial Park right here in Battle Creek and is part of Feeding America and the Food Bank Council of Michigan, making national and state food resources available to us for a small fee. With the help of donors and volunteers, the Food Bank provides a wonderful, essential service to our food service program.

We need your support again this year in meeting the Food Bank Challenge. This is the LAST year for the 10% match. In the future, you are still welcome and encouraged to donate to Kambly’s account but the 10% match will no longer be a benefit. That is why this is a crucial last chance to help us obtain matching dollars. The donated monies do not have an expiration date and will remain in our account until we use them. We have participated in this program for the last six years and it has been a huge benefit to our organization.

This is a national challenge, to fight hunger and provide nutritious food at drastically reduced prices. However, from April 1 – to May 31 for every donation made to our agency's account at the Food Bank, the Food Bank will credit our account by an additional 10%. It's the most effective and efficient means to make a monetary contribution to Kambly's food program. Last year Kambly received record donations in the amount of $8,663.16 which translated into thousands of dollars of food and supplies; this was a huge boost to our food budget.

Please remember, you must make your contribution between April 1 – and May 31 in order to be eligible for the Food Bank Challenge and for Kambly to receive the 10% match. Thank you again for your past support of this program and for all you do to help our organization.

Please click on the donate now button below to help Kambly.

IMPORTANT: When donating online you must leave this message in the leave a comment field, Kambly Agency Number A-1295. This will ensure Kambly receives your donation.

Sincerely,
Connie Hawthorne
