See the Difference Your Gift Makes
We would like to share a wonderful opportunity to support the programs of Koinonia and make a positive difference in the Eau Claire Community!
Public Message From an Anonymous Matching Donor:
“I am willing to match any gifts from ‘new donors’ to Koinonia of Columbia of $100 or more during the years 2023, 2024, and 2025 up to a total of $5,000 per year.
I look at what Koinonia is doing and I think, ‘well done, good and faithful servants.’ What do you see and think about Koinonia’s values and efforts? We will know them by their love (and hard work). If you cannot support with $100 or more, could you explore how else you might contribute? What can you do? Who can you tell?”
