Painless Fundraising

Most churches/church organizations and parochial schools are looking for ways to raise funds for programs.  To minimize the annoyance and frustration experienced by dealing with what seem to be perpetual fundraisers: candy, wrapping paper, etc., there are "painless" fundraisers: recycling and label redemption programs.  Although the amount generated per person is small, the totals add up.

Your support for these programs is both needed and appreciated.  Please visit the "Recycling" page to identify those in your area who can benefit from your discards.  Visit the "Label Redemption" page often and refer to it before shopping.

We are Blessed!

From the beginning in 2005 through 2007 we relied on much-appreciated donations from churches and individuals.  On January 1, 2008 all overhead and operating expenses were assumed by anonymous private donors through June 31, 2011.  Beginning July 1, 2011 we welcomed a new anonymous donor who replaced and assumed the role of previous donors.  Thanks to all who have made this operation possible and enjoyable.

If this service is valuable to you or your church organization, and you are able to assist us with your contribution, please don't send money but support us with your events and prayers and by donating one or more cans of food per day to your nearest food pantry or kitchen, homeless shelter or hungry neighbor.

No advertising is needed, desired or accepted to finance this operation.
