Giving Tuesday over, but give anytime!
Giving Tuesday was December 2 but it is not too late to make out your check anytime during this holiday season. Giving Tuesday is celebrated as a reminder that nonprofit organizations need your support. We ask that you consider a donation (check, cash, or Venmo) to Friendship Park Community Center. We depend upon donations to fund programs, events, and activities to help us meet our mission to promote the overall quality of life in the community through social, educational, recreational, health and safety programs. This year holiday donations will help us purchase some additional tables, a new screen for the "big" room wall, and some other needed items for the Center. Any size donation is sure appreciated! Thank-you for reading this appeal and considering your support.
