An Invitation To Fundraising Gala on May 4, 2012 for the benefit of Good Samaritan Women Center

Peace!

Nine years since establishment of Good Samaritan Women Center in Taichung City, our services to the needs of homeless women continue to expand.  Presently, our center, located walking distance from the back of train station is an old rented apartment that we renovated in June 2003 after it was unoccupied since 921 Earthquake of 1999.    At present, our center can shelter about ten (10) women.  The landlord have been good to us all these years, however, our needs continue to grow, present space limits our activities. The cracking walls from the earthquake posed constant danger to the staff and the women.

We have been discussing and planning for three years about the possibility of establishing a place of our own.  Now, I am very happy to invite you to help us make this dream home for Good Samaritan Women Center come true.  On May 4th, 2012, Friday, 6:00 PM, a Gala Fundraising Event will be held at the National Hotel in Taichung, Zhong Gang Road to inaugurate our 3-year fundraising plan.  Please help buy a dinner ticket.  Ticket costs NT$2,000.  Please consider this as your contribution to the new women center. 

Give a gift of home ~ a safe place for healing and reconciliation.  Be our partner in helping women who have found themselves homeless to rebuild their lives and future.  Thank you for buying dinner tickets!  Please contact us.

With deep gratitude,
