Foresters Financial, an international financial services provider, recognizes that well-intentioned people, who want to make a difference, may not have the resources to provide financial contributions to worthy causes in their communities. Foresters Financial provides ways for its members to exercise their desire to be contributors and become leaders in their community. One of these ways includes sponsoring a community grant of up to $2000 to organize meaningful activities for its members.
A recent RGV native and Forester’s member became aware of this benefit through her insurance provider, Tammy Ramos Insurance Agency, in Donna, Texas. Our anonymous supporter has great compassion for the population La Posada assists but felt hindered due to lack of resources. With help from her insurance agent, she completed a successful community grant application that granted her project to serve La Posada Providencia’s guests.
The project is to occur Wednesday, October 6th, 2021, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm CST. The volunteer activities include preparing travel kits for our guests. Travel kits are filled with essential needs for our guests to continue their journey to their resettlement destination. The funds donated will help pay for items such as backpacks, snacks and hygiene products.
La Posada applauds Foresters Financial for enabling members to serve in their community. We recognize at times that our supporters face pressing obligations or circumstances that can prevent their ability to make monetary contributions. Foresters Financial proves that with a good heart and good intentions, anything is possible.
