End of Year Tax-Deductible Generous Donations

There are still several days left until the end of 2014.  Please make a generous tax-deductible donation to Bentley at www.bentleycommunityservices.org and visit our DONATION page.  Please help us to further our important work now and in the future and help us to provide delicious, healthy and nutritious food provisions and crucial basic needs to struggling, working families who do not receive assistance but are in need of help in this unstable economy.

We certainly are very grateful for your end of year donations.

How Beautiful Are These Scarves?

Gracious employee elves from Bloomberg used their talents and gifts to decorate winter scarves and donated these personalized holiday gifts to Bentley for distribution to the participant families!  How thoughtful and giving of Bloomberg once again to make the holidays even more special for Bentley families, keeping the chill in the air at bay by these warm winter scarves.  We all are so blessed and grateful!

Holiday Wishes Do Come True

Holiday wishes do come true for children 12 years of age and under in the Bentley program.  “Be a Star, Brighten a Child’s Holiday” is the theme at The Learning Experience of Belle Mead this holiday season where the families of children enrolled at the center choose a star with a child’s name on it. On the back of the star, is a suggested holiday wish list for the child.

The holidays will certainly be brighter for these children because of the generous holiday giving from the families of The Learning Experience of Belle Mead. How fortunate and blessed are Bentley and The Learning Experience of Belle Mead?  We are so thankful for the generous philanthropic giving of The Learning Experience.

Thank you, Costco

We are so thankful to Costco for donating holiday turkeys to us!  We were short turkeys as we are experiencing a surge in participant families that are in need.  Costco came through for us just when we were in need. We certainly are grateful.
