<div>Hi everyone! My name is Mattie Johnson,  Executive Director at Bethlehem Center.  Please help us keep working in the Community.
</div>

<div><strong>Bethlehem Center Inc</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>KEEP BETHLEHEM CENTER WORKING</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Help Us Raise $25,000 in 14 Days</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than 89 years, the Bethlehem Center has been a place of service, hope and opportunity for children and families in Jackson, Mississippi.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, we need our community's help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bethlehem Center is experiencing a serious short-term cash-flow crisis that is affecting our ability to meet payroll for approximately 10 dedicated employees—including childcare workers, food-service and maintenance staff, administrative personnel and leadership.
</div>
<div>These are the people who open our doors, care for children, prepare meals, maintain our facility and provide services to families who depend upon Bethlehem Center.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Goal: $20,000 in 14 Days</strong>
</div>
<div>We are launching an emergency campaign to raise $20,000 to help meet immediate payroll obligations while Bethlehem Center implements a longer-term financial recovery and sustainability strategy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not simply about meeting one payroll.
</div>
<div>It is about keeping Bethlehem Center working while we build a stronger financial foundation for the future.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more than eight decades, Bethlehem Center has served the Jackson community through programs that include affordable quality childcare, free income-tax assistance, counseling and community-development initiatives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we are asking the community that Bethlehem Center has served for so many years to stand with us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Your Gift Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div>Whether you give $25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or more, every contribution moves us closer to our $20,000 goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You can also help without making a large contribution. Share this campaign with your family, friends, coworkers, church, fraternity or sorority, civic organization and social-media network.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Organizations Can Help, Too</strong>
</div>
<div>We are inviting churches, businesses, fraternities, sororities, civic organizations and other community partners to become Emergency Campaign Sponsors.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We especially welcome organizations willing to provide $500, $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000 gifts—or to establish a matching challenge encouraging others to give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Help Us Protect a 50+ Year Jackson Legacy</strong>
</div>
<div>Bethlehem Center has been here for generations of Jackson families.
</div>
<div>With your help, we intend to be here for generations to come.
</div>
<div>Our immediate mission is simple:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>$25,000. 14 Days. Keep Bethlehem Center Working.</strong>
</div>
<div>Please donate today—and then share this campaign with at least five other people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing with Bethlehem Center, our employees, our children, our families and our community.
