These are just some of the things that you helped do last year!
You helped:
- three people get their vehicles fixed so they could get to work,
- provide needed items to a family whose house burned down,
- school kids with much needed supplies and uniforms,
- pay off outstanding school lunch balances so kids could eat,
- provide food for extended stay guests at a motel throughout the year,
- provide numerous bicycles to needy children and teens,
- provide hygiene and first aid supplies to the needy,
- put books in the hands of children and adults that can't get to the library,
- send supplies to people in the St. Louis tornado,
- recycle hundreds of pounds of aluminum cans,
- provide monetary donations to other charitable causes,
- donate to a foundation for a 13 year old girl, who had just beaten cancer, then died in a house fire,
- get needed supplies for a pet shelter,
- provide puzzles to people in senior living facilities,
- pay rent for a lady and her son who had to miss work when her disabled son passed away,
- get gas cards to people living in their cars,
- provide blankets, tarps, coats, sweats, socks, glives, underwear, and shoes to those without,
- provide Thanksgiving meals to people living under a bridge.
YOU did this and so much more! You may think that you did just a little, but it all adds up.
I have been asked where our money comes from to do these things. The answer- 4 places. 1) cash donations to the organization, 2) usually one fundraiser a year, 3) recycling aluminum cans, and 4) from selling items that we can not give out in a yearly parking lot sale or on FB Market Place. Thank you to Lesa Naudet for doing the Market Place sales for us! Many, many people donate items that we in turn, get to those that need them.
Thank you for all of your support from Teren's S.T.A.R.S. and those that you helped.
