Thank you for supporting EUMA during Erie Gives Day!

Please note: current totals listed at ErieGives.org are not final. Erie Community staff and volunteers answered over 500 phone calls and uploaded as many as 3,000 checks. The work continues over the next few days, and our total will continue to grow!

The Foundation expects to share closer estimates within August but, final numbers will be announced at a press conference on Tuesday, September 17th (stay tuned for more information!). 

 

MESSAGE FROM CEO, KURT CRAYS:

We are still in awe of the generosity shown to EUMA during Erie Gives. On August 13th our organization took part in our local Day of Giving to connect with our community of supporters.

Because of donors like you, we were able to raise over goal and raise $106,000.00 (as of 8/15/24) to further our mission of making homelessness, rare, brief, and one-time just as Jesus would. Each gift made during Erie Gives will play a critical role in allowing us to serve our neighbors experiencing a housing crisis and create a larger impact.

We look forward to the future of EUMA with great anticipation as we use funds raised during Erie Gives to end homelessness for children, youth, veterans, singles and families in need.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He. Is. Good! Thank you and may God bless you as you have blessed so many of our neighbors in greatest need!

 - Kurt B. Crays
