‘Penn Branch Cares Campaign’ to Offer Support, Encouragement for Our Neighborhood Public Servants

///
Penn Branch Cares Campaign

Our community is standing up to support those of us whose livelihoods are threatened by the recent terminations of Federal workers and contractors, as well as dramatic cuts to U.S. Government-supported programming. We are launching a new effort that will allow us to show support for our impacted neighbors while raising funds to deliver care packages to affected households and host additional community events to bring neighbors together during these difficult times.

Proceeds will fund care packages and additional community gatherings to lift up those who are affected.”

1. Renew Your Membership

In coordination with our 2025 membership drive, we are offering yard signs that say Penn Branch Supports Public Servants—this includes not only Federal employees, but also contractors, non-profit employees, and others who are directly and substantially affected.

2. Make A Donation (+$20)

Please make a $20 donation on our website (See below), or by check, and let us know if you would like to have one of these signs. Proceeds will fund care packages and additional community gatherings to lift up those who are affected. Please consider choosing a membership renewal option (include link) that bundles your membership and sign donation to maximize your impacts on behalf of the community.

MAIL CHECKS TO:

P.O. Box 6730 Washington, DC 20020 –Be sure to note: “Penn Branch Cares Campaign”

3. Help Us Out

We also need your help to identify neighbors who have been directly and substantially affected by recent Federal government terminations and funding cuts. This will help us ensure we are directing care packages to the right folks. If you or one of your neighbors are among this group, please reach out to k.anthony.murphy@gmail.com to let us know.

We will take the next step in reaching out to neighbors. Please also know that your neighbors and friends are standing with you in solidarity and are ready to listen to anything you need and any ideas you may have for improving our support.
