WE OFFER SHOWERS TO THE HOMELESS. WE OFFER COUNSELING AND MOTIVATIONAL CLASSES DAILY. ALL OF THESE SERVICES ARE GIVEN AT NO COST TO ANYONE IN NEED. HOWEVER, WITH THE ECONOMY IN THE SHAPE IT'S IN, WE ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES IN KEEPING OUR DOORS OPEN. OUR DONATIONS HAVE DROPPED BY 95% AND WE ARE IN NEED OF HELP FROM THE PUBLIC TO CONTINUE HELPING OTHERS. WE ARE ASKING FOR HELP THRU MONTHLY COMMITMENTS OF $10.00 EACH MONTH. DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTABLE. PLEASE HELP US TO CONTINUE OUR SERVICES WITH THE COMMUNITY.
WE HAVE A BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION CENTER WHICH HOUSES UP TO 15 CLIENTS. THESE CLIENTS ARE INTERESTED IN BETTERING THEMSELVES AND TO BECOME MORE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS IN THE COMMUNITY.

WE HAD A VERY SUCCESSFUL VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL THIS YEAR WITH 27 CHILDREN ATTENDING. THESE CHILDREN COME FROM POOR FAMILIES IN THE COMMUNITY AND THEY WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE EVENTS WHICH WERE PLANNED. THEY WENT TO THE ART MUSEUMS OF PENSACOLA. ALSO, TO THE NAVY MUSEUM. THEY WENT ON A BOWLING FEILD TRIP. JUST SEEING THE JOY ON THESE CHILDRENS FACES MADE EVERYTHING WORTHWHILE. IN 2011 WE ARE PLANNING TO EXTEND V.B.S. FOR 2 WEEKS INSTEAD OF THE TRADITIONAL 1 WEEK.
WE WANT TO THANK THE TEACHERS AND THE VOLUNTEERS WHO ASSISTED WITH EVERYTHING THEY DID FOR THE CHILDREN. WE ALSO WANT TO THANK THE LOCAL BUSINESSES FOR THE DONATIONS OF FOOD AND CRAFT ITEMS FOR THE CHILDREN.
