Gathering Change, Inc. Mother’s Day Card Fundraiser

Gathering Change, Inc. raises money for local food pantries. This Mother's Day GCI is selling a card with original artwork by Mary Taggart for a $25 donation.

 In support of hunger relief in our neighborhoods, Gathering Change, Inc. invites you to celebrate this Mother’s Day by honoring the bond you share with your Mother, Sister, Aunt, Friend or Mentor by sending your loved one an original card painted by local artist Mary Taggart entitled Floral Way.  Mary owns her own studio called TaggArt Studio on 339 Salem Street, Wakefield, MA 01880.  Her website is: http://taggartstudio.com/.

 The inside of these beautiful cards will read:  “In honor of your devotion, ________________ has made a donation in your name to Gathering Change, Inc. a 501(c)3 non-profit whose mission is to meet the immediate basic needs of our neighbors.  This card is a reminder that you are loved today and always,   Happy Mother’s Day.”   Also, included is an ending quotation that states: “There is an instinct in a woman to love most her own child – and an instinct to make any child who needs her love, her own.” –Robert Brault

 The suggested minimum donation is $25.00 per card. 100% of the proceeds will go to GCI to support our Mission.  To order by credit card use our Donate Now button on our website: www.gatheringchangeinc.org, enter Mother’s Day Card, your name and address and recipients name and address.  Or you can send checks to GCI, P.O. Box 1104, Lynnfield, MA  01940 with donors and recipients name and address.  Orders can be made beginning April 1st-May 6th for guaranteed delivery by Mother’s Day, May 12th.  Cards can be mailed directly to you or sent to your loved one directly and we will sign your name.  For questions email dgoodwin@gatheringchangeinc.org  or call 617-548-5357.
