Why is Cassaday & Company partnering with Central Union Mission? According to founder Steve Cassaday, “The mission of the organization was totally consistent with our family’s charitable goals to help people help themselves, and we are committed to a long-term giving plan with the organization.”
Michelle Tigani, manager of marketing and communications, adds, “It’s important for us to give back. We feel very lucky and blessed to have the jobs that we do and to be able to support others who aren’t as fortunate.” For her, the Mission is a great example of a “one-stop-shop” for people who need help: “We love that Central Union Mission is giving people skills and opportunities to advance their lives and to improve and grow.” Plus a benefit of supporting a local charity is that “you can get a better sense of what’s going on in your own neighborhood.”
Cassaday & Company’s Controller Anna Shkrabaliuk is a member of the board of trustees for the firm’s Donor Advised Fund, which has a mission to create opportunities that otherwise would not exist by providing basic necessities. She notes, “All our employees are mission-driven and donate to various organizations, so when we established this fund for the firm, we literally had 100% participation. When the firm introduced a 200% match, our employees increased the amount of their donation, as well! It’s a great program—good for morale within the with our family’s charitable goals to help people help themselves, and we are committed to a long-term giving plan
firm.”

Our seats may be different, and the way we get to the table may be different, but one thing the coronavirus has taught us is that we are all equal in the eyes of the Lord—whether in hardship or in abundance. And we still are called to care for our neighbors in need with the blessings we have been given.
That’s why Central Union Mission invites you to be a sponsor for our virtual fundraising event, A Seat at the Table. Through this campaign, which begins now and concludes with a live virtual celebration on Thursday, November 19, at 7:00 pm, we’ll be able to provide Thanksgiving meals, care and more for hurting neighbors in need this winter.

After COVID-19 hit, we moved those shelter residents with essential jobs into Lambert House. Suddenly, the Lambert House building was at capacity—but not up to the challenge. Since COVID-19 is no longer a temporary situation, we needed to make the essential repairs.
We began renovating Lambert House with a $55,000 investment in materials and labor from Coca-Cola Consolidated—replacing the roof, removing old carpets and making some critical repairs.
We need your help to complete these renovations.
