The Joint Urban Ministry Project (JUMP) is in a joyous mood, raising $14,500 for the Virtual RUN or Walk fundraising event which began on September 26th with a goal to raise $15,000. The fact that the amount significantly surpassed last year’s goal of $12,000 is a testament to how many believe in JUMP’s work in our community.
“JUMP has been supporting Vermont neighbors impacted by poverty over 30 years which has been a fight we have not journeyed alone.” observed Wanda Hines, Director. “Volunteers, faith community, business community, donors and our partners, time after time continue to rally and step up to support us in helping neighbors move out of crisis and become more economically independent.”
Virtual RUN or Walk participants really enjoyed the event as shared by mother and daughter, Juniper & Mandy, “Thanks for all you do. We love JUMP" and Katharine Stockman; JUMP Board of Directors member, “Great day for a beautiful walk for a wonderful organization JUMP.”
We wish to express our deepest gratitude to donors and volunteers for their steadfast support and ongoing generosity especially dealing with uncertainty during the coronavirus pandemic.
