We hope you and your loved ones are staying safe and healthy. As you know, we at Family Building Blocks are working hard to meet families where they are as we continue to face the extraordinary challenges associated with the COVID-19 crisis. Whether for a reassuring phone call or a porch drop off of essential items, we are there. Our ability to continue adjusting quickly to meet our families’ needs is reinforced when members of our community ask, “How can I help?” Our community is our strength. Thank you for giving us the encouragement and support to relentlessly pursue our mission of “Keeping Children Safe and Families Together.” Your participation in the online auction, whether a winning bid on an exciting package, a special appeal gift, or a purchase of concrete supports like Home Visits, directly benefits the most vulnerable children and families partnering with Family Building Blocks. We are honored you are connecting with us. We are so grateful for everyone who has made this new virtual experience possible – our donors, committee, volunteers, Allied Video Productions, Raise Agent, and our loving staff. Thanks to our generous sponsors, all funds raised during this auction will directly impact the success of children and families in our community. Our children’s future depends on our shared passion and generosity. By supporting Uncorked, you are ensuring a better quality of life for families in Marion and Polk counties.

BALTHAZAR SPONSOR
Dear Uncorked Live Guests, We believe that families are the life-blood of our community and that every child has the potential for greatness. When parents have the support to be their child’s first and best teachers, and when children feel safe and loved, we all benefit. U.S. Bank is proud to have partnered with Family Building Blocks in their efforts to prevent child abuse and neglect in Marion and Polk counties for over 20 years. We love participating in Uncorked Live, as it brings together our philanthropic community for an evening of fun and celebration in support of a very worthy cause. Thank you for joining us this year. When you invest in Family Building Blocks, more families will be surrounded by loving relationships and more children will have limitless opportunities. You can be confident that you are changing lives. Enjoy the night! - Ross and Suzanne Carey

HOW YOU CAN HELP TODAY BID ON AUCTION ITEMS AND GIVE IN THE SPECIAL APPEAL OR DONATE ONLINE TO SUPPORT CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN OUR COMMUNITY!
DONATE NEEDED ITEMS
We have an urgent need for diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies, hygiene products, and food. Our dedicated and loving staff are working hard to deliver these much-needed items while prioritizing the health and safety of each other and our families.
HOW TO DONATE
• Purchase and ship items from our AmazonSmile wish list. Amazon will also donate 0.5% of eligible purchases to Family Building Blocks! • Deliver other donations to Chelsea’s Place, 2425 Lancaster Dr. NE, between 9:00 am-2:00 pm Monday-Friday. Please call 503.566.2132 to let us know when you plan to stop by. If you are able to donate food, please ensure fresh produce isn’t too ripe.
MONETARY GIFTS
Financial gifts are welcome and needed more than ever. New costs associated with providing urgent, additional concrete supports to families and the technology required to keep home visits going are exceeding our budget. We are asking you to help us as we swiftly adapt our programs to meet these unexpected needs. You can give by participating in the online auction, donating online, or by texting FBB to 91999.
