Help the less fortunate!

Caldwell County Yokefellow celebrates its 45th anniversary this year. 

In 1968, a group of concerned Christians from the faith community recognized the wisdom of a unified plan for assisting the poor.  They realized that if churches joined forces to aid others, resources would be focused, creating better stewardships and a greater ministry for Christ.  Their foresight encouraged many churches and individuals to come together, pooling time and talents, to form Caldwell County Yokefellow.  In April, 1969, Caldwell County Yokefellow was incorporated into being!

Today, 45 years later, Yokefellow continues that same mission – but on a much broader scale.  This year-to- date Yokefellow has provided $117,769 in direct emergency assistance to our Caldwell County neighbors in need.  Our Food Pantry has provided $458,475 in direct food assistance to 6,113 families.  The Thrift Store has provided almost $14,000 in clothing and household vouchers to families in need. 

There are many ways you can provide support to Yokefellow.  We always need food as the Food Pantry requires an average of 30,000 pounds of food monthly to meet the current demand for assistance. Recycle Hope is our new campaign for the Thrift Store. Every item you donate to our store effort represents a treasure to a family in need, a symbol of hope for their tomorrow.

We sincerely need your financial investment in support of our $1.6 million operating budget.  Our 45th Anniversary campaign for 2014 is “45 in 90” which means we have a goal of raising $45,000 in 90 days.  The Yokefellow Board of Directors has a Challenge underway and the Ministry Team Staff has their own challenge being met. The Volunteer force of Yokefellow saw these challenges on the planning board in our conference room; subsequently the volunteers have now challenged one another.

YF has adopted BE BOLD as our commitment to serve on an even greater scale in the days and years to come.

Please be bold in your commitment to Caldwell County Yokefellow.  We invite you to be our partner as we provide shelter, food, clothing, hope and healing in our community.  Your tax deductible gift in any amount is welcomed and a self-addressed envelope is included for your convenience.
