From Tillie Burgin

This next Thursday, September 17th, is  North Texas Giving Day, an important day for Mission Arlington. Between 6 a.m. and Midnight next Thursday, you  can click the event's OFFICIAL LINK to support us, or you can give directly to us through our WEBSITE.

Our front room increasingly is filled with people who have lost their employment, because of the pandemic's effect on our economy. Working mom's and dads, many for the first time ever, are unable to pay their rent, utilities, or both. Evictions loom, and the heartache is palpable.

We humbly ask that you help us stand in the gap to meet these financial needs, not for us, but for the people we serve. 

Our administrative overhead is documented at 1.7 percent. This means that more than 98 cents out of every dollar you give ministers directly to people in need. Please know that every gift makes a difference, and no gift is too small. We don't charge for any service we provide, and we don't sell what you so graciously give. It's been that way since our inception over 34 years ago.  The testimony below - written to you - illustrates the direct impact you have on people's lives:

        " When my family and I came to them, we were at our last chance of any sort of help. Having cancer duing this pandemic has made it impossible for me to work. My wife was working herself to death trying to pay bills which were ever falling behind. We went to Mission Arlington thinking  it was going to be like all the rest, and they went above and beyond to help us. Thank you so much Mission Arlington, and God bless!"

 We find such joy in what we do. We know that our Lord created every life, so we treat each and every person with dignity and respect, as we know you would do if standing in our place. Thank you for walking this journey with us. Thank you for the generous, faithful way you care for people in need.  Would you help us share the word?

Sincerely,
Tillie Burgin
