What a Year!

What a year 2008 has already been! Depending upon your sources of information, the USA is either poised for greatness, or we're heading for another Great Depression. I know our efforts have little effect on the direction of a nation, but our small "drops in the ocean" of caring can have tremendous effects on the people in our community. The already have!

Your Faith Community Service Fund has been quietly serving people week in and week out since our beginning in 2005. With a little budget, a lot of volunteers, a little faith and a lot of connections, I've seen the impact a little love can have.

Did you know Faith Community Service Fund and Bridges of Hope have over 75 active volunteers? In estimating the value our volunteers have shared with the community, in one year, based upon a salary of $18.46 per hour, our Bridges of Hope volunteers have given $49,842 in quality time. Add to this the over 1100 hours of FCSF volunteeers ($20,306), and the total is $70,148 of quality time to families!

One drop of water, added to other drops, makes a big difference. Read some of the stories of people we've served. Get involved! We cannot change the course of a nation but we can sure start a river of compassion, flowing over the hearts of people. And we need you.
