Example of a campaign update message. Text of message:

Dear System,

With temperatures dipping well below freezing, you can imagine how horrible it is to be homeless this winter. Your support could make the difference between life and death for someone with no home and no hope.

Winter, spring, summer or fall, there is an ever-growing need for basic, emergency services and rehabilitative programs for the homeless. In fact, St. Francis House sees more than 800 poor and homeless men and women a day. Help us continue to serve Boston s needy by participating in the 2007 Annual Fund Drive to Fight Homelessness today.

Your support of the Annual Fund makes it possible for St. Francis House to provide food, clothing, medical care, job training, counseling, and other services that help our homeless guests rebuild their lives.

No matter what the size of your gift, your help will make a difference. So please, help our guests leave homelessness behind for good. In this frigid season, your support is a warm breath of hope.

Sincerely,

Karen LaFrazia

Executive Director

P.S. - A portion of all gifts received by April 30 will be matched by The Feinstein Foundation. So please -- act now. Thanks again.
