Sights for Hope Earns Third Straight Give Day Contribution Match from AllOne Charities

Sights for Hope’s supporters have helped the organization earn a $1,000 contribution match from AllOne Charities for the third straight year.

Through AllOne Charities’ Give Day initiative, Sights for Hope raised enough to qualify for the match. The promotion coincides with GivingTuesday – which is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.

All gifts to Sights for Hope will support its mission throughout Pennsylvania’s Monroe County and Lehigh Valley.
