The only pair of gloves that fit

Hi [First name],

Last spring, [Name] was shoveling mud out of a flooded basement when our team showed up with the only pair of gloves that fit. That's the kind of call-out your past gifts helped us answer.

This Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 to restock our 10 volunteer response teams with go-kits before the next storm season. That gets 20 household clean-up and hygiene kits ready to hand out at the first call-out.

Gifts that come in early give us a head start. If you'd like to be part of it, you can give here: [Donation link]

Thank you for being part of how we show up.

Help us fill 20 go-kits today

Hi [First name],

It's Giving Tuesday, and today is the day to restock our go-kits.

Last week I wrote about [Name] and the gloves that fit. We're at [Total raised] so far toward our $1,000 goal for 20 kits.

Your gift pays for:
- $25: half a kit, with work gloves, masks and trash bags for one flooded home
- $50: one full clean-up and hygiene kit for a family returning to a damaged home
- $100: two kits, so a second family gets help on the same call-out

100% of your gift goes to our response teams. We use Zeffy, a platform that's free for nonprofits.

20 go-kits, and what your gift did

Hi [First name],

Thank you. Together we raised [Total raised] from [Number of donors] donors, and [Outcome reached].

Remember [Name], shoveling mud out of that basement? Because of you, the next family we meet at a flooded door will get a full kit instead of one lucky pair of gloves. The go-kits will be packed and waiting for the first call-out of the season.

Our December appeal is coming soon. If you'd like to keep going, you can follow along here: [Year-end appeal link]
