Dear Advocates, Supporters, and Friends, Our local, private, non-profit entity, operates Louisiana 2-1-1, serving eleven parishes in Northwest Louisiana, is now facing its greatest challenge. Today, we are asking you to support Centerpoint with a donation for the first time in our 24 years of service to our community – to help us continue to be a lifeline to those in need. Over the last twelve months, we have assisted 14,950 local households representing over $4.8 million in assistance. This assistance included Housing (Rental Assistance, or Mortgage Foreclosure Prevention), Shelter (Emergency or Transitional Housing), Utilities Assistance (Electric, Gas & Water), Emergency Food (Meals Ready to Eat, referral to a Food Pantry and Food Stamps), Clothing and Furniture, Identification (providing access to school for children, healthcare and human services for individuals and families.), and Transportation (providing access to medical appointments, continuing education, employment, etc.) Centerpoint has always served as the private, non-profit, contracted provider of those public services that the Federal, State, or Local governments provide as a health or human service to its citizens. However, budget reductions and government restructuring have directly impacted our capacity to continue to provide these services to our Louisiana citizens, and more specifically those in Northwest Louisiana. Centerpoint’s 2-1-1 is the number to call for those who don’t know where to turn, when faced with a crisis. PLEASE HELP us continue this critical service by making a donation to sustain our efforts in your community TODAY. |

“My employer went out of business and was unable to pay its employees. While I owned my home, I was unable to pay the utilities for three months until other employment was gained. The Centerpoint 2-1-1 agency paid the utilities for my family. Without these funds I would have lost lights, gas, and water for our daily living needs. Thank you Centerpoint 2-1-1, without these services I don’t know what my family would have done.” - E. Williams, Shreveport, LA |

We don’t have any giveaways, races, or match gifts to incent your giving. We’re posting this request for your response upon all of our networks, as inexpensively as possible. We have more statistics and stories than can be contained in this humble appeal, and welcome sharing them with you at your genuine request. Having served in this field for over 25 years, we know there’s likely a more clever and endearing manner to ask for your help. However, respectful of time and resources – we thought you would appreciate an honest and sincere request over all of the rest. We’re NOT going out of business, but we ARE facing elimination of vital programs in order to sustain our overall operations and continued service to our community. We can’t express strongly enough how important we believe you are to the strength of our community, and the continued growth toward self-sufficiency for all of its citizens. Please understand how difficult it is for us to ask for assistance for our operational funding, when we spend all of our time and resources providing direct life-operational assistance for all we serve. Thank you in advance for whatever gift you decide upon. Together, we believe we can make a difference! |
