Often donors evaluate nonprofits on what percentage of their revenue goes to cover operating expenses. While we may not agree on the validity of […]

Our goal was to raise $3,000 to buy a commercial refrigerator. We’re super excited to announce that we raised over $4,700 which will not only cover the cost of the fridge, but also help with the costs of getting the electric run / installation – and hopefully enough left over to fill that fridge up! We couldn’t have done it without each of you, so thank […]

They kept seeing homeless people in their town and rather than just giving […]
