Think outside of the (gift) box! Send a Christmas card to your customers and let them know that instead of the traditional fruit and cheese gift basket, you made a contribution in their name to MUST Ministries. Generate excitement with an office raffle. Countdown to Christmas with a holiday raffle and donate a portion of the proceeds to MUST. Imagine what can be raised for MUST by giving away a Kindle, IPAD, spa treatment or night on the town. “Money” is a gift that never goes out of style! At MUST, we concur! Please consider a year-end financial contribution. This is also a good time to begin monthly giving! We accept contributions in the form of cash, checks and credit cards. Please visit our website: www. mustministries.org and click on DONATE. Thanks!
This has been an especially busy year at MUST Ministries as the demands on our services have grown significantly. Last year we served almost 34,000 distinct individuals through our:
e Emergency Homeless Shelter e Loaves and Fishes Kitchen e Food Pantries e Clothing Closets e Employment Services e Summer Lunch program e Transitional & Supportive Housing MUST Ministries: P.O. Box 1717 | Marietta, GA 30061
As the year closes, you may also consider a gift of stock. If the gift has appreciated, you can deduct the shares’ fair market value and avoid income tax on the capital gain. Consult your tax advisor to see if this option is the right choice for you. MUST is equipped to handle this conveniently for you. MUST is a 501(c)3 organization.
