Original Christmas Cards Give a gift that makes a difference to a boy at Boys’
Home. When printed, the original artwork is in full color and features a fireplace with stockings hung and a little gift for Spot, the dog. The card was selected during the Christmas card contest. A Boys’ Home Christmas card is a wonderful way to honor someone special or memorialize a loved one. With each $10 (minimum), one Christmas card with envelope will be mailed to you to personalize and give when you wish. The inside of the card reads, "This Holiday season, a gift to Boys’ Home has been made in your honor." Memorial cards are also available. To order, just return the form above with the total number of cards wanted and specify either honor or memorial cards. This is a good "gift" for everyone on your list! For more information, call Sandra at (540) 965-7714. Neighborhood Assistance Program Changes in the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Neighborhood Assistance Program began July 1, 2007. Individuals that donate to charities may use both the charitable donation on their federal tax return and the NAP credit on their state taxes. The tax credit will be 40% of the donation value. To take part in this program, donations from individuals, businesses and professionals must be made directly to Boys’ Home and be unrestricted. Donors are encouraged to seek advice from their tax advisor. A NAP Contribution Notification Form (CNF) must be jointly prepared by the donor and Boys’ Home for submission to the Virginia Department of Social Service. The NAP office will forward a tax credit certificate to the donor. The process generally requires 4-6 weeks before the donor receives the certificate. The program operates on a fiscal year of July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008. If you have any questions, please call Boys’ Home at 540-965-7714 or check with your tax advisor. Soup labels needed The Campbell’s Soup Labels for Education campaign continues. The labels are redeemed for equipment and supplies for the Boys’ Home School at the Greer Education Center. Several churches, groups and individuals have been collecting labels since the program began at Boys’ Home. In 2002, a 15-passenger van was obtained through the program. Besides Campbell’s products, proofs of purchase from Prego, Pepperidge Farms, Franco-American and V-8 Juices are accepted. Please call Martha at (540) 965-7707 for more information. Planned Giving
So, for many Americans, the tax rebate check they received has already been spent. However, if you haven't used your rebate refund for another purpose and are just waiting for the right opportunity, then consider using all or part as a charitable gift. Since the
rebate funds were unexpected income, think about using the
funds to help with Back to School needs at Boys’ Home. Or
you might have another idea of how Boys’ Home could use the
funds. If so, contact Janet Lemmer, Development Director at
540/965-7715 The Bishop Jett Fund The Bishop Jett Fund was named in honor of the first Bishop on the Boys’ Home Board of Trustees. It has been established to meet the expenses of the religious life program of Boys’ Home. A goal of $2 million is being sought for this Fund. The Religious Life Program will continue to be one of the four cornerstones that define the Boys’ Home mission. We are an outreach of the Episcopal Church and believe that religion helps shape all aspects of a person's life. This Fund will help finance the Boys’ Home Chaplain’s position. The Chaplain's residence can be renovated. Additionally, the fund will provide for the maintenance and upkeep of All Saints' Chapel on our campus. The Fund will help support activities in our Religious Life Program: worship resources, religious education materials, church camps and conferences, Boys' Home Singers, youth group activities and religious awards for Boy Scout Troop # 66. A beautiful Tree of Life has been placed in the lobby of the Administration Building at Boys' Home. This solid oak tree provides a way to recognize the generous donors who support the Bishop Jett Fund at Boys' Home. Boys' Home, Inc. is a residential education facility for boys ages 6 - 18. Since its founding in 1906 by the Rev. G. Floyd Rogers, thousands of boys' lives have been changed. At our heart is a mission to help each boy strive to develop his spiritual, mental, physical and social potentials. Thereby, ultimately becoming a healthy, productive and giving member of society. It is a big challenge to accept, but it's one we've been successful in accomplishing at Boys' Home. The main campus of Boys' Home is located two and one-half miles west of Covington, Virginia. The campus consists of 70 developed acres, along with 1,400 mountainous acres of woods, streams and cliffs where the boys can hike, fish and swim. Boys' Home, Inc. 306 Boys' Home Rd.
