Why give to non-profits?

Madison Drake, APC

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we wanted to share that we are thankful for you! Throughout this busy holiday season, it can be so easy to get wrapped up in the checklists and the shopping, and forget the importance of community and giving. The recipe for a hopeful holiday starts with you! When your holiday tradition includes Bethel Haven, you are not only giving to your community, you are extending our table to feed more people and fill their plates with help, hope and healing!
By partnering to build a better community, you can help families and individuals get the help they need! Giving to a good cause can trigger the happy chemicals in our brains to make us feel better and lighter, and who doesn’t love feeling good, especially around the holidays? When you decide to lean in and give to a place like Bethel Haven, you become more aware of not only the importance of mental health, but also the impact that good mental health has on the world around you. Researching a topic produces answers, when researching and choosing to represent a non-profit, you and those around you become more informed, resulting in positive change, not just in your life, but in the lives of those around you! Non-profits need your support; when you give, it shows your passion. Think about what is important to you, what is it that tugs on your heart? Choosing to give to a place like Bethel Haven advocates for that passion. If you desire to see change, Bethel Haven is the place to consider!
Donations look good on you! When you give to a non-profit, it can be a tax-deduction, though we hope that is not the only reason you would give! Non-profits, like Bethel Haven, depend on donations to promote programs and reach goals. By giving, you are not only writing a check, you are helping write someone’s story. Your help brings light to a dark world. It is easy to get caught up in the heaviness that surrounds us. At Bethel Haven, we strive to make each person’s life a little lighter. You can make a difference!
To continue seeing clients, providing the quality of service our clients need, and having the materials to do so, some expenses cannot be covered by grants alone. Most grants in the non-profit world come with guidelines the office needs to follow; with your help, we are able to be innovative and provide better quality sessions for you and others! Individual donations help us help the community. Bethel Haven aims to create a space for help, hope and healing. We are dedicated to serving this community. We strive to address the needs of the whole person, recognizing the biological, social, spiritual, and psychological components that make up each person who walks through our door.
If you have ever asked yourself how you can best help your community, choosing to share with Bethel Haven is one of the best things you can do!
