WE STARTED OUT AS THE RED CROSS, WHO HELPED WITH DISASTER RELIEF, I.E. TORNANDOS, FIRES, AND FLOODS. WE ARE NOW A VOLUNTEER BASED HELP CENTER. WE ARE HERE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY, WHO ARE NEED OF CLOTHING, BEDDING, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, FURNITURE, AND/OR FOOD. OUR DOORS ARE OPEN MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY, 9AM-12NOON. WE ALSO HAVE A DONATION BIN, SET UP ON THE FRONT PORCH OF OUR BUILDING, (
WE ACCEPT DONATIONS ANYTIME, AND ANY KIND). WE TRY VERY HARD TO HELP EVERYONE WE CAN, BUT TIMES HAVE GOTTEN TIGHT, AND WE NO LONGER HAVE THE RESOURCES TO HELP EVERYONE. BECAUSE OF DWINDLING RESOURCES, WE HAVE PEOPLE TO ONLY COME ONCE EVERY 30(THIRTY) DAYS, AND WE CAN ONLY GIVE FOOD TO THOSE IN DESPERATE NEED ONCE EVERY 6(SIX) MONTHS. WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF A NEW FACILITY, AND DONATIONS.( THE BUILDING WE ARE CURRENTLY USING, IS OWNED BY THE CITY OF WAYNESBORO, AND IT FALL DOWN AROUND US. IT NEEDS ROOF REPAIRS, IT LEAKS EVERY TIME IT RAINS, SO THERE IS MOLD IN SOME OF THE ROOMS, IT NEEDS PLUMBING WORK, THE PIPES FROZE IN DECEMBER 2013, AND BUSTED, SO WE HAVE NO WORKING RESTROOM, ONLY HAVE ONE SIDE OF THE FAUCET IN THE KITCHEN. IT NEEDS ALOT OF ELECTRICAL WORK, THERE ARE BARE WIRES IN THE CLOSET, AND THE CEILING FANS ARE HANGING DOWN (WITH EXPOSED WIRES )THAT DON'T WORK. VOLUNTEERS HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE GROUNDS, WHEN THE CITY IS SUPPOSE TO. IT ONLY HAS A RUN DOWN STORAGE BARN, THAT LEAKS AND IS FALLING APART.) WE HAD WORKING FREEZERS AND A FRIDGE, UNTIL THEY WENT OUT, SO WE ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO KEEP FROZEN FOODS. THE FACILITY WE ARE CURRENTLY USING, IS A SMALL TWO BEDROOM HOUSE, THAT WAS BUILT IN THE EARLY FIFTIES, IT IS VERY SMALL, AND WITH THE DEMAND WE ARE HAVING WE NEED TO EXSPAND. NOW YOU KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT US, WE HOPE TO POST GOOD THINGS FROM HERE ON OUT. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS.
