Centre Raising Funds for All Programs This Giving Hearts Day
Centre will again be participating in Giving Hearts Day to raise funds to provide additional support to individuals accessing services through the agency. We are currently in the process of securing the $3,000 in match funds required to participate in the 24-hour giving event.
While the past years saw a focus on veteran programming, the closing of Project HART has paved the way for Centre to redirect its fundraising efforts toward facilitating successful outcomes for clients statewide in Fargo, Grand Forks, Mandan, and Williston by providing support not funded through current contracts to enhance our ability to address the multi-faceted barriers that can hinder a successful transition to the community.
Funds raised through Giving Hearts Day will play a crucial role in helping clients address barriers to employment, transportation, and ensuring a seamless transition for individuals seeking to reintegrate into the community.
One of the primary focuses of Centre's fundraising efforts is to address the employment gap faced by many clients participating in programming. By investing in employment readiness, Centre aims to empower its clients with the tools and resources necessary to secure meaningful employment. By doing so, Centre not only fosters economic independence but also facilitates the reintegration process by promoting a sense of purpose and stability.
Transportation can often be a significant hurdle for individuals striving to rebuild their lives. Centre recognizes that reliable transportation is a key factor in accessing employment, education, and community resources. Funds raised on Giving Hearts Day will also contribute to transportation solutions, such as subsidized public transit passes and access to ride-sharing services. By addressing this crucial aspect, we aim to remove a roadblock that can stand between our clients and successful community reintegration.
A successful transition involves more than just finding a job or securing reliable transportation, so funds will also be allocated to addressing any other barriers a client may be facing through coordination with Centre’s management and clinical teams.
The early giving period is now open, and those interested in supporting Centre for Giving Hearts Day can visit our giving page: https://app.givingheartsday.org/#/charity/496. Every donation contributes to Centre’s mission to provide rehabilitative services to individuals to achieve social reintegration.
