Dear Anne and the Memorial United Methodist Church,

As we reflect on the culmination of our fall collection season, I wanted to extend our deepest appreciation to you and the Memorial United Methodist Church for sponsoring a fall collection with us and bringing in 163 bikes and 82 sewing machines! Your dedication to Pedals for Progress and our mission has made a significant impact, and we are profoundly grateful.

Your commitment to hosting a collection site has not only facilitated the gathering of bicycles and sewing machines but has also played a crucial role in advancing our overarching goal of providing individuals in developing nations with tools of personal empowerment. Your efforts directly contribute to the establishment of economic stability and sustainability, embodying the essence of our mission.

The success of our fall collections, including shipments to Guatemala, Albania, Uganda, Sierra Leone, and Togo, would not be possible without your efforts. Your involvement is instrumental in propelling Pedals for Progress forward, allowing us to extend our reach and make a positive difference in communities worldwide.

On behalf ofour partner programs abroad, I’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your continued support. Your generosity and commitment to our cause inspire us to continue striving for meaningful impact. We look forward to the prospect of future collaborations and the shared journey toward empowerment and positive change. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

Sincerely,
