I love to talk about FCS!
On March 13th, Two Men and a Truck and NoDa Brewing Run Club are partnering to kick off our 5th annual Movers for Moms donation drive. The run club will be having a 1, 3, and 5 mile “diaper dash” run. We are asking participants to donate an item from our wish list (diapers, bottles, linens, etc.) to receive a raffle ticket for gift cards and prizes from local businesses.
Which brings me to my initial statement of… I love to talk ab…out FCS!
Yesterday, the admissions coordinator, Kat, and I went to several businesses asking for gift card donations to be used in the raffle for the “diaper dash” benefitting FCS.
Every place we went into had not heard of FCS, which gave us the opportunity to share with them all the amazing things we have accomplished in our 110 years of service. That moment… when you are speaking passionately about a cause you truly believe in… the moment when the spark enters another’s eyes… when someone else realizes the cause is worthy and honorable… That moment is why I love to talk about FCS. I have seen that spark turn into a fire in so many. I have seen a person look at me skeptically, assuming I’m selling something horrible, then blink, eyes open, skepticism is gone and replaced with an understanding of Florence Crittenton Services and why it is worthwhile.
Our afternoon adventure was so successful and enjoyable. This is a picture of Kat, myself, and Brendon Murphy, manager of a new restaurant called Peculiar Rabbit. After he learned of FCS and all the wonderful things we are doing he gladly gave us a FIFTY DOLLAR gift card to be used in the upcoming raffle. So awesome, and completely validates my assertion that I love to talk about FCS!
