A simple smile, genuine or even forced, prompts the brain to produce endorphins and serotonin, causing positive emotions.

Ruth’s House has just learned that the philanthropic program called “AmazonSmile” has ended.  Ruth’s House benefitted from this program and the loss has the potential to negatively affect our programs and services.  We hope to make up for the loss of this program by enrolling 10 people in our monthly giving program.  We call our monthly givers “Champions of Hope” because their regular contribution to Ruth’s House helps to provide hope to the women and children who come to us for stable and safe housing.  Because the gift is set up as a regular monthly donation, it makes it possible for us to plan for this support as we provide services.

We humbly ask that you consider becoming a Champion of Hope at this time because we really need your help.  You can go to this link (Champion of Hope) to sign up for the program and you can decide how much you which to give on a monthly basis.  You can choose any amount to donate.  I have signed up to give $25 a month through this program and I am so glad I have decided to be a Champion of Hope.  All you need to do is to provide the information needed on the Champion of Hope form (Champion of Hope) and the amount that you choose will be automatically donated to Ruth’s House every month.  If you decide you wish to stop the monthly donation, you can stop at any time by contacting us.  Please be one of the 10 new Champions we need and join me by signing up to make a monthly donation.
