We appreciate your donations! Here is how they are used:
- We have rent, food costs, and gasoline reimbursements.
- In emergency situations we pay utility bills or buy an air conditioner or heater.
- On occasion we cover a night’s stay at a hotel for someone.
- For the indigent without IDs we cover the cost to aid in getting those. Currently, our costs overall (with all volunteer labor) run around $2000 per month.
- We are also looking into purchasing some property and put a couple of small buildings that would include a facility to provide lunches Monday through Friday, a truck stop style shower, and a commercial washer and dryer.
