Evergreen in action...this makes me smile!

Dear Evergreen Community,

Thank you for your generosity to HOMEpdx! Your giving for 2008 totaled $4,275 in cash donations. By participating financially with us you have joined the front lines of the battle to create future for our friends without houses in downtown Portland.

Here's a partial list of things you helped pay for in the past year:

7500 meals
10,000 pairs of socks
2,340 piping hot burritos
5,000 assorted toiletry items (razors, shave cream, toothpaste and brushes, Q-tips, feminine products, deodorant, combs, first aid kits, etc.)
600 hand warmers
100 hooded sweatshirts
You paid our rent for five months and bought several cell phones and helped with ID. In ways, big and small, you made life better for the beautiful men and women who are the least wanted in our city.

In 2009 we hope to at least double the scope of what we do. Will you join us?

Thanks again,
Ken

p.s. Folks, your caring for us and our friends amazes me!
