Saturday, 12/26, will be MATCH DAY!  On the 26th, all donations for $100 or less will be matched (donor, amount, and dip or dodge) by our  wonderful sponsors.  We will match donations all day or until we reach $5,000 in matched donations.  Be sure to let your donors know!

Also, we will be awarding prizes for the day's top fundraiser on:
- Sunday, 12-27: $25 Gift Card to Gimme Coffee

"Three members of my family spend or have spent considerable time at 518 West Seneca St. We are members of Al-anon, AA, and NA. Our teen-aged son's problems with addiction first brought me to Al-anon meetings at 518. Later, my son and husband both attended meetings at the building for their recovery from drugs and alcohol. Meetings at 518 have made a huge impact on the well-being of our family. When addiction impacts a family, it is often necessary to rebuild social networks from the ground up, as it was for us. I am very grateful to Ithaca Community Recovery for providing a place for that to happen."

This week's random participant winner is Mike Barry! Congratulations Mike, you won a $50 gift card to Moosewood Restaurant!
