We are including this information so you can see how important your donation is to our organization - whether you are volunteering for events, fundraisers or caroling; or, whether you are wondering where your money is going.
Some expenses may seem a bit extravagant to some and a drop in the bucket to others. We believe that what we do is extravagant and no matter how you look at it, it is still a WIN-WIN for everyone involved!
YOU CAN BE PART OF THE WIN-WIN STRATEGY!
- A WIN-WIN for the caroler to learn, grow and minister;
- A WIN-WIN for the recipients who get to hear the carolers and that the Lord remembers them in the midst of their harder than normal circumstances;
- A WIN-WIN for the giver who gets the satisfaction that they helped to get the carolers out singing in the cold weather while they get to stay warm and dry inside;
- A WIN-WIN for the giver to deduct their donation on their taxes to the extent of the law in the state in which they live;
- A WIN-WIN for the high school students to earn community service hours to satisfy their graduation requirements;
- A WIN-WIN for every volunteer, young and old alike, to make new and long lasting friendships with new people, other non-profits, schools, churches, medical facilities and businesses in the various communities!

The approximate breakdown per Student Caroler is $302.00 when you include the Annual Awards Banquet.
The approximate breakdown per Adult Caroler is $392.00 including the banquet and the $90.00 for their background check and fingerprinting.
Hopefully fundraising volunteers at the different events will bring in enough money to cover the cost of everyone's banquet tickets as well.
