Due to growing concerns surrounding the Coronavirus, the Youth for Christ Banquet on April 2nd has been postponed. We have tentatively rescheduled it for May 21st, but this is completely subject to the recommendations of national, state, and local officials. We will continually value safety and health as we make all organizational decisions. We will keep you in the loop on any further developments.
Like many, concerns regarding COVID-19 leave us with much uncertainty in the coming weeks. We now face challenges in outreach to vulnerable youth in our community. Our team met via Zoom call this morning to discuss ways we can get creative (i.e. writing letters, leveraging technology to create meaningful connections) in relationships with youth. Pray for local youth as well as our organization as we discern how to respond.
Lastly, we appreciate your financial support during this season. The outlook here has drastically changed due to COVID-19 and specifically the need to postpone our largest annual event. A donation during this time would be a great blessing, and please keep in mind that all new or increased contributions are currently matched (read more about this HERE).
May God bring beauty out of this trial--in our world, country, and community.
In Christ,
Haddon Anderson, Executive Director
