Subject: Charity with ties to local family wins $20,000 in Chase Community Giving Project
By Corrie
Our Family Adoptions supports this little girl and many others.

My name is Corrie Hoeschen Ehrbright and my family is in the process of adopting 2 children from Democratic Republic of Congo. I am also a volunteer for Our Family Adoptions; a humanitarian aid group that serves children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. We are adopting our children with the help of Our Family Adoptions, a non-profit group that charges no agency fees and has an all volunteer staff. Recently, through an amazing grassroots campaign, our organization was awarded $20,000 in the Chase Community Giving Project. This was a grant contest conducted through Facebook; an online social networking site. Approximately 9000 organizations competed for votes. The top 200 vote getters will receive grants. We ended the contest at #107 and therefore won $20,000, which will be used to purchase food and medical supplies for the 6 orphanages that we support in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
