The Cost of Compassion

The outreach organization that I volunteer for has no paid staff, no office rent to pay, and no fundraising expenses. All of the money they receive goes to provide food, fellowship and emergency services to the homeless, the poor, the elderly and the disabled.

While prices for goods and services continue to rise for everyone, the biggest expense HOPE of Minnesota incurs is for vehicle maintenance and fuel. The most difficult expense for the organization to cover is for gasoline; the price of gas has tripled since I began volunteering in 1997.

Wondering what the homeless perspective is on the high cost of gasoline? Check this out.





Remember us in your prayers!
