Year-End Giving

As the year comes to a close, TrueNorth Community Services is calling on the community to support local families, youth and seniors through year-end giving and participation in The Good Challenge. December is one of the most important months for nonprofits nationwide, and TrueNorth is no exception. We see some of the highest community needs during the winter months, including increased requests for food, utility assistance and youth support services.

The Good Challenge is TrueNorth’s year-end campaign designed to inspire giving, volunteering and acts of kindness throughout West Michigan. So far, community members have stepped up in meaningful ways, contributing both time and financial support to strengthen the organization’s mission. With just days left in the year, TrueNorth hopes to finish the challenge strong.

“There is no better time than December to support the programs that keep our community stable,” said Mark Kraus, Community Liaison and Development Director. “Every contribution made during The Good Challenge has a direct, immediate impact on the people we serve.”

Year-end donations help ensure TrueNorth can enter the new year fully prepared to meet ongoing needs. Funds raised support essential programs, including hunger relief efforts, youth mentoring, housing stability services, community outreach initiatives and older adult programming.

Please donate, volunteer or complete acts of good before December 31 to help TrueNorth reach its year-end goal of 100 donors and 100 volunteers.
