Dear Friend of the Mission Community Market,
Happy Holidays from the Mission Community Market! Thanks for a great 2011, our first complete season! You made it happen! It’s still not too late to give the gift of a successful, fun and beautiful community marketplace in 2012.
Donate to the MCM Today
Make a 2011 tax-deductible donation now, before December 31st, and a generous private donor will match your donation up to $5,000! Wow! Your donation will bring bilingual health education, after-school programs, and murals to MCM!
- Started the Mission Health Promotora Project, providing healthy food incentives and bilingual education to low-income families
- Created sales opportunities for 26 women-owned and 11 first-time micro-entrepreneurs
- Replaced 1000 square feet of graffiti with three murals, including a replica of San Francisco’s hidden first mural
- Created 5 local jobs, including 3 youth trainees, while bringing over 1000 volunteer hours into the community
With you, the Mission Community Market will continue to grow healthy families, catalyze micro-enterprise, and transform Bartlett into a community space. Your support of $50 will help bring bilingual health promotoras to teach nutrition. $100 can create a play area on a Thursday. Or put a mural up for $1500, and the city will double your donation! We already have the artists ready to go! If your budget doesn’t permit now, consider volunteering, vending or performing next year! There are so many ways to be involved in your community!
On behalf of the dedicated MCM staff and Board of Advisors, we wish to thank our community partners: La Cocina, CARECEN, Urban Sprouts, the Women’s Initiative, MEDA, Community Music Center, Mission Beacon, New Door Ventures and, most importantly, YOU. Thank you so much for 2011 and we wish you a happy and healthy 2012!
Sincerely,
Jeremy Shaw
Executive Director
