Dear Lisa and Project Give Members, 
Last night I was stunned when you presented me with the beautifully wrapped box containing 800 all day bus passes and 67 seven -day bus passes for a total value of $3,005.00! As I shared the good news here today with some of our staff the most frequent reaction was "WOW!!!"

I do not think that you ladies realize the magnitude of your gift! You will be helping 867 people with a little easier way of going about their job of getting back on their feet after life has handed them some very difficult circumstances.

“I check the homeless helper Facebook page to see that there is a free concert at one of the churches so I will get warm for a few hours. I will also try to apply for some jobs but the first question is my address and phone number. I got neither of those. Dinner at the Peter Lawrence Center on S. Main. Three miles each way but I'm still grateful. Off to the concert at Trinity Lutheran then to my encampment. I crawl into my sleeping bag hoping
