Respond to the annual appeal. Designate ASC when you contribute to UMACC, COMECC (for MA state employees), or United Way. Celebrate a special occasion by asking your friends to donate to the ASC in your honor in place of gifts. And/or think of ASC when writing your will or making your estate plans.

Please call Director Cheryl Zoll at 549-3968 x207 if you have questions.

GIFT CATALOG:. Read the Gazette article about the gift catalog which will benefit ASC consumers AND provides a meaningful gift to those you love. If you want to do all of your gift shopping in one stop, help the Survival Center, receive a tax deduction, and provide a unique gift, our Catalog is the perfect solution.

You can buy "gifts" such as a $50 "House Warmer" supporting household items for people who have recently had to move or a $100 "Daily Bread Basket" which covers a day of nurishing food for forty people. Call the Center to have a Catalog sent to you - 549-3968 ex 202 or click these links to read the online Gift Catalog and print a Gift Catalog order form that you can postal mail.

Friends receive an infrequent email (less than monthly) when a special need arises. An example is a client who had a fire and had immediate needs for beds and other household basics. Another example is a small file cabinet needed by the ASC for the new medical clinic.

If you can be a Friend, please send an email to tracey@amherstsurvival.org with the message line "I'm willing to be a Friend of the ASC." Questions? Email or call Tracey (549-3968 ex 202).
