For our Winter Campaign we only need to raise $827,000.00 and you know what? We can!Many of you buy our paper each and every month. If all of you sent in just an extra $25.00 in the month of March and April we will meet our goals.This is not unreachable but we need you to all reach out and tell your friends and relatives. Every dollar counts!

Also, let’s allday for a cure for Cancer and food for the.Each and every day please say a prayer and ask fora cure for all Cancer.

Part of this campaign also includes paying off the homes we bought to house our families and elderly that come through the shelter. To pay off these two homes completely, we need the following: 254,747 people to save $1.00 worth of change and send it in to our address below.good way to do this is to go right now to your couch and look under the pillows and see what you can find.Then hit your next door neighbor up and see what he finds as well.

We need 50,949 people to send in their check for $5.00 to the address below.Together we willoff these balances.

Or, maybe,474 people can send in their $10.00 checks.So what can you do to get these 25,474 people to send in their $10.00 checks?We can ask every one we know to help!

Another way is for 2,547 people to send in $100.00. Maybe you can do a car wash or a garage sale at your home.

The best way to get these balances paid off is to go to your church and ask them to do a one time collection for Wintereven a penny drive. If there were 254 churches who each raised$1,000 we wouldour.There is just one catch..... if your church memberspastor are going to invest in us than we want them here to see where the money goes.want you to meet the homeless and the formally homeless individuals who are now working for our shelter system as case workers, security, kitchen staff and housekeeping.public has invested in our agency for over 12 years. All our buildings were paid for by you the people who donated to uswho continue to buy our paper.want you to see what you own. This is your place as well as our place.Did you know that not only do you put a roof over a homeless persons head but you feed many hungry families who live on their own because they come to our food pantry and get food a few times a month at the Pete Clifford's Food Pantry?

You can also call our office at any timewe can run your credit card for any amount you wish.

This new thermometer is to show our progress in paying off these homes.
