We are so grateful for the support of our sponsors: Today's THV, B98.5, The River Community Church, Affiliated Foods, and Jason Hydrotherapy. However, we know we could not do what we do on a daily basis without our partners who gave sacrifically. As of Friday, March 13, 2009 we have received approximately $36, 500 in cash and pledges. Each day since the event God continues to bless us with additional commitments.
The social experiment in fund-raising on FACEBOOK provided about 34% of the monies we have received thus far. We will continue utilizing FACEBOOK for communication with our partners.
We are participating in Belk’s Charity Sale this year. We have the opportunity to sell tickets to their Charity Sale that will be held on Saturday, May 2 from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. Tickets will be sold for $5 each, and we will receive 100% of each ticket we sell. Tickets can be sold until Friday, May 1. We have initially asked for 500 tickets, but we can pick up more if we sell the first 500. I want to encourage our friends to purchase a ticket. Also, each ticket holder will receive $5 off their first purchase the day of the Charity Sale; so they will be able to recoup the $5 for the ticket.

INVITING ARKANSAS highlights Patrick Franke, a Union Rescue Mission graduate
Today Patrick Franke, left, and I visited with a writer for "INVITING ARKANSAS" who is covering a Union Rescue Mission success story for our NIGHT ON THE STREET event. Patrick also participated in a "photo shoot". Patrick will be participating in NIGHT ON THE STREET to be held at the River Market Pavilion on Tuesday, March 10 from 4:00 pm to midnight.
What Is A Night on the Street?A Night on the Street is an unforgettable service experience for residents of Central Arkansas. You'll sleep out with only a cardboard box as shelter, learning firsthand about the challenges of being homeless. By drawing attention to the needs of the homeless, you'll put your faith into action in a concrete way and, at the same time, raise money to help prevent homelessness,domestic abuse and chemical addiction.
Join Patrick that evening and hear his stroy of God's work of grace and restoration. Also you can discover service opportunities at the Union Rescue Mission and assist in raising financial resources on the night of March 10. Plan on joining Patrick at the River Market Pavilion.
