Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Bootstraps Supporter,

In response to the recent story about another agency’s misfortune, I would like to assure our donors that we make every effort to carefully protect your donations.  Our processes involving monetary gifts have been evaluated by an auditor and deemed appropriately secure.   We track donated gift cards and keep them in a locked safe if we cannot immediately distribute them.   Other tangible items, such as holiday gifts, are kept in locked rooms until given to those in need.   We CORI check all staff and volunteers.

While, like at any business in any industry, we cannot guarantee that a desperate person may do something unusual, we strive to think ahead, put safeguards in place and to honor your donation to the best of our ability. Please be our partners in this and alert us if you ever do not receive an acknowledgement of a gift or have any concern.

Thank you for your continued support! The need is greater than ever before, and we appreciate your faith in our organization.

Sue Gabriel
Executive Director
