Some give at Christmas and all year long!

We have had some real generous donors that have helped our clients this year. Although giving is part of the Christmas spirit, this is something these groups do all year round!

The Lutheran Disaster Response has helped fund jobs for Hurricane Wilma clients and picked up expenses where others donors funds ran short. They have already given $25,000 and have pledged another $10,000.

The Rotary Club has already given $7500 to help hire roofers to fix Hurricane Wilma damged roofs four our residents, and have pledged to help fund roofers to replace five more roofs of residents still trying to recover from Hurricane Wilma.

The City of Clewiston gave us a place to stay for a year for $1.00 rent. They have also provided invaluable advice and assistance. In addition they have donated one of their retired trucks for us to help deliver materials.

PDA,UCC, UMCOR and thier Storm Recovery Center, the Empowerment Alliance, Catholic Chaities, the United Way, Publix, 211, and Neighbors to the Rescue have also helped us and helped local residents recover from disaster.
