In Lieu of Our Holiday Party

Updated: December 29, 2020

Congrats to Our Selected Charity - 180 Degrees Inc. (Saint Paul, MN)

This organization was suggested by our visitor, Matthew.

180 Degrees' mission is to support individuals and families to overcome barriers, transform lives, and contribute to healthy, multicultural communities. We have proudly donated $500 to 180 Degrees in Matthew's honor.

2020 was a challenging year for everyone.

It's probably the most overused sentence of the year, but it's true. It was a year of distance and division, uncertainty, and isolation.

All things considered, the team at INO.com feels incredibly blessed this year thanks to the wonderful INO.com community and our MarketClub members.

While we had hoped to host our annual holiday party for our team and their families, our staff agreed that people in our community needed our help.

In place of our holiday party, INO.com happily provided meals to food-insecure families through donations to the South County Area Network, MAC House in Moorefield, Wardensville Food Pantry, and the Lost River Ministerial Food Pantry.

President of INO.com, David Maher, personally presented the Mac House with our donation. The coordinator of the Moorefield food efforts said, "Wow, that’s wonderful! Thank you! Thank you! This community is blessed by its giving and caring people. Very generous of you especially in this difficult time."

While we have made donations like this before through our INO Cares initiative, we know that so many more people need help this year.

  3. Since our Governor will not let us worship, the church doors being closed, so no plate collections are available, but the bill are still accumulating. With no infusion of any help, the creditors will now have a new place to play with. HELP US KEEP THE DOORS OPEN AND WE THANK YOU....GOD BLESS. My place of worship is ST PAUL ARMENIAN CHURCH in FRESNO, CA

    1. Hi Matthew,

      I am pleased to announce that the charity you suggested was randomly selected for our INO Cares gift. This morning we sent a donation in your honor to 180 Degrees Inc. in St. Paul, Minnesota.

  7. I would like to donate the funds to St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, Ohio.

    I am a big proponent of quality education for our young men. St. Ignatius offers a high quality college preparatory education for high school boys of all backgrounds and ethnicities in the Greater Cleveland area.

    Its graduates truly emerge as Men For Others.
