Thank you for joining Torch 180's
Keepers of the Flame recurring gift program!
The Keepers of the Flame sustaining gift program was born from the idea that just as we encourage our students to focus on a positive, rewarding future, we too strive to be forward thinking in our program planning.
With your committment to make a recurring monthly gift to Torch 180, you can help us do just that!
In addition to being an easy and affordable way for you to make a posiitve impact on the lives of marginalized young adults, recurring gifts provide Torch 180 with an extra level of certainty as we look forward and invest in our program's growth to reach more young people who need our help.
To join Keepers of the Flame simply choose to make an ongoing monthly donation that is automatically charged to your credit card. You can choose to increase, decrease, or cancel your recurring donation at any time. Your gift supports the entire Torch 180 mission, going to where the need is greatest. Even a small monthly investment in Torch 180 makes a significant impact in our village.
Did you know?
➡️ The main reason we make so many cookies is because they offer so much valuable practice for our students? A recipe is a task list, plus there is math, reading, following directions, use of the small appliances, scales, and convection oven. So much valuable practice! It costs about $500 per month to keep up with all this baking practice! And about $3000 per month to cover the cost of all of our groceries and ingredients to make our delicious, in-house offerings.
➡️ Our Apprenticeship program was a first for the state of Michigan? The Cook Registered Apprenticeship program is a partnership with Torch 180, MCTI, the Michigan Department of Labor & Economic Opportunity to provide an "Earn and Learn" model. Torch 180 pays our apprentices approximately $900 per month for their hourly service during their program.
➡️ When you donate to us, whether we have fifteen or five students at a time, you are investing in a lifetime of changes for these individuals? Imagine that, a lifetime! That's why we are called Torch 180 - because lives completely turn around and go in a different direction. There are so many variables that are a part of keeping Torch 180 operating and impacting lives...whether your investment goes towards catering supplies, wages for instructional staff, or grocery items, know that every cent is a blessing to this organization and those we serve.
