N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Less than 11 hours remain for North Dakota’s Giving Hearts Day match, and a major donation hopes to spark unprecedented giving in Jamestown.
Yesterday a woman walked into the Jamestown Salvation Army’s Worship and Service Center and donated $15,000. Her hope is that it would inspire others to give on Giving Hearts Day.
“It’s such a generous gift, it surprised all of us,” smiled Major Tim Nauta, Jamestown Salvation Army administrator.
Her gift increased the matching opportunity for the Jamestown Salvation Army from $4,000 to $19,000, but donations can only be received today at impactgiveback.org.
Your donation of $10 or more will only be matched today on Giving Hearts Day, February 9th.
Last year in Jamestown a total of $5,402 was raised on Giving Hearts Day, all of it was matched and so far this year only $2,000 has been raised (as of 1 p.m.)
So what moved the woman to donate? It was a simple video (Which you can find below.)
She also said the need is so great and she wants to make sure whoever gives more than $10 to the Jamestown Salvation Army, they’ll know their donation is matched. Thanks to her, $10 becomes $20, $20 becomes $40 and $150 becomes $300.
