October 29, 2012 – Join Sisters Of The Road this November and December for the 2012 challenge match, Together at the Table. Thanks to a group of donors, all gifts to Sisters will be matched 50¢ on the dollar during this seasonal challenge. An additional $1-for-$1 match for new donors has been pledged by two local foundations, The Collins Foundation and the Rose E. Tucker Charitable Trust – thanks to their support, a gift of $30 becomes $75!

Warmth, a hot meal on a cold day and a welcoming smile – when we sit together at the table, our hunger for companionship, understanding and nourishment is met. For many Portlanders without homes, Sisters Of The Road is the one place they are welcomed at the community table. 

Unlike many organizations, Sisters Of The Road is primarily sustained by individuals—almost 75% of Sisters’ income comes from individual donors. To receive the new donor match, Sisters must receive at least $35,000 in new donor gifts by midnight on December 31st, 2012. 

All returning Sisters donors are also matched throughout November and December 50 cents for each dollar donated. A $100 donation by a returning donor becomes a $150 donation!

A gift during Together at the Table makes seasonal and end-of-year giving stretch further, and a donation in the name of friends or family is truly meaningful. Sisters Of The Road notes that gifts in any amount are welcome.

To donate, go to www.sistersoftheroad.org; call 503-222-5694 ext. 12; mail a check to 133 NW Sixth Ave., Portland OR 97209; or bring donations to Sisters' office at 618 NW Davis Street. 

Sisters Of The Road raises nearly half of its annual revenue during these two months; with a goal is to raise $320,000 in individual donations during Together at the Table.
