COVID-19 Mariner Relief Fund

Dear fellow Mariner Sands member,

What can we say that you don’t already know, about the disastrous pandemic paralyzing the country? Stores are closed. Jobs are lost. Our neighbors outside Mariner Sands are in survival mode and urgently need relief.

What can we do to help?

With the endorsement of the boards of Charity Week and The Chapel, we have embarked on a disaster relief campaign to help our critical charities continue their work uninterrupted. The success of this effort depends on generous people like you. Some First Donors have already pledged $1000 or more. Our goal is to raise $100,000 in the coming month.

The Community Foundation of Martin and St. Lucie Counties has established a special COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Fund, and made a pro bona offer to receive and process donations.

** The money raised will be directed to charities approved by grants committees
of Charity Week and the Chapel (Ecumenical Benevolence). **

This is no time to be shy.

In this emergency we need more than your contribution. We need your heart and soul as well. Think about the families in our own back yard whose income for the foreseeable future will be zero – good people with kids to feed who have been thrown out of work by this catastrophe and desperately need a life raft in a raging sea.

Please write your check with them in mind. Make it out to:

Your contribution will be appreciated more than you know and will be tax deductible as it will be receipted by The Community Foundation Martin – St. Lucie (EIN 65-0024030).

Thanks so much,
