 My name is Kurt Falkenstein. My family and I have been supporting Ballard for over 20 years as board members and volunteers. Ballard is a special place. They offer services desperately needed by the community. Low-cost early childhood education, family stabilization programs, rent and utility assistance, a food and clothing pantry, and mobile food distribution. And through the generosity of people like you, they've supplied almost 700 Christmases for families last year. I encourage you to join me as a Ballard supporter and volunteer by visiting ballardcenter.org. You'll be glad you did.
