A Message From the Network Co-chairs
Dear Network Partner:
We are writing as Co-Chairs of the Western Massachusetts Network to End Homelessness to ask for your support of the Network.
As you may know, the Western Massachusetts Network to End Homelessness runs almost entirely on a small legislative earmark. We are so grateful for our legislative delegation’s support, which enables the Network to coordinate hundreds of partners across the four western counties in our efforts to prevent and end homelessness.
But there is another central role the Network plays that falls outside the bounds of the earmark: advocacy for budget and policy change on a state and national level that supports our shared mission.
This is where you come in: we are asking for either your organization or you as an individual to make an annual contribution to the Network to support this important work. Please click here for the contribution form to make your Fiscal Year 2025 contribution.
We have provided contribution guidelines but of course we appreciate any level of support.
Thank you for your support and partnership.
Best,
Gerry and Shaundell
