Letter from William J. Blacquiere
President and CEO of Bethany Christian Services

Last year, more than $100,000 was given to needy children and families by friends like you who selected a gift from our catalog.

Many of you have said to me: "It is so much more fun and satisfying to give to a special need."

Well, here's your chance again. Have a look at all of the options. There is enough variety of need that I'm sure something will jump out and be just right for you.

Giving to a need described in the catalog will be a wonderful gift to children and families who desperately rely on our encouragement and support.

And, you might find that giving will be the best gift you receive this year.

Thank you for helping vulnerable children. We look forward to sending them your gift.

When you select and order an item from this gift catalog, Bethany allocates your donation to the service organization providing the item you choose. If the item chosen is "sold out," Bethany will redirect your donation to a similar program in that region.

Each of these items is just one part of a larger program that finds solutions to local problems in ways that make sense in that community.

What You Will Receive:

For each donation made through the gift catalog, Bethany will send you a receipt that you can use for tax purposes.
