How you can help!

Our programs are dependent upon fees for service and donations. Since we began, we have survived on grants, program fees, donated equipment, facilities, as well as community donations and much physical labor support. We have learned that we are talented in many ways. We make and sell woodcrafts, candles and tee-shirts to raise money.
