What Giving Tuesday Means for CGM Donate
We are feeding the capital region of NYS and an orphanage in Kisii, Kenya this holiday season. For us, Giving Tuesday is not just about receiving donations, it’s about making an impact.
For Thanksgiving, CGM is hosting a dinner giveaway free of charge. Our volunteers will be delivering meals to those in need. While Pastor Cyndi will be delivering turkeys and bags of food for three shelters we sponsored. And in December, we’re going to do it all again.
Meanwhile, this holiday season, CGM will be providing food for our sister church in Kisii, Kenya who has opened an orphanage! We’ll be boxing up raw ingredients to send internationally to make a difference this Christmas.
We are all about impact and transforming lives
We Are Who We Say We Are
I am praying that you will put into action the generosity that comes from your faith as you understand and experience all the good things we have in Christ.
Philemon 1:6
A lot of people can make a difference, but very few can be the difference. Simply put, lots of actions can be taken, but the transformation of a life, the manifestation of the impact of the giving must be felt. At CGM we make sure the impact of your giving is felt.
With a gold seal of transparency via Guidestar, a directory and informant of approved nonprofits and charities’ information, CGM makes sure your giving is put to use to further the Kingdom of God. Recognized by Facebook, Instagram, Google, and many other networks, CGM is a certified nonprofit with a goal: we have come to turn the world upside down (Acts 17:6)
Turning the world upside down doesn’t mean, shaking a bag until all the contents fall out! For us, turning the world upside down, means turning the world away from the bad. The side we’re on right now is dark, but there is still good in the world. We need to see the good that many have forgotten, and that’s what we’re here for. CGM is here to bring light into the darkness, allow Christ’s light send the darkness running.
As a Christian nonprofit, people often think we are closed off to the world, but that’s the opposite at CGM. We see the very real problems hurting our community and those around the globe, and we are going to do something. We are going to share the message of the Gospel of Jesus, feed the hungry, reach our communities and beyond, and we are going to impact the world. And we’ve started right here in the Capital Region of NYS… well actually, we started in Buffalo, NY.

How You Can Help Donate
This #givingtuesday, there are a lot of ways you make an impact in poverty stricken communities and the needy internationally. We ask that you help us reach our goal of $10,000 to help us feed double the number of families for Thanksgiving (100 families, three local shelters), and send off boxes of food to Kenya. Shipping internationally can be expensive, but with your help, we can cover the costs!

Two Ways to Help
Donate
Giving can be simple, as simple as filling out the form below. You can designate where you want your funding to go to: our main funds are Feeding Kisii, Kenya, and Feeding the Capital Region this Christmas.
We have added three more funds for you to consider:
Our building fund. This is for gathering enough money to get a physical building. Right now, CGM hosts all events in rented spaces around the capital region.
The vow. If you are a believer in Christ, making a vow to sow into our ministry is also an option. However, God has no respect of person. Giving into CGM will open doors and opportunities for those who give to us. God is a fulfiller of His Word, and when you bless His Kingdom, He will bless you (Proverbs 18:16).
Finally, there’s a general fund. All monies from this fund go into the most needed area. Please carefully consider each fund when donating.

We are an official 501(c)(3) charity. And we have an official nonprofit page on Walmart with a registry.
