Strangers Helping Strangers has been a fan supported and out of pocket organization for every day of the past 15 years.
--As we've grown from a handful of food drives a year with one band through dozens and now hundreds of food drives each year, we've never asked any agency for support. We've always just reached in our pockets and covered the printing of fliers, signs, posters and other printing costs, canopies, tables, lamps, pens, travel, etc... with the help from the fans who want to help here and there.
--As you can expect, we all who are supporting this effort live pretty close to the edge. Occasionally we experience a catastrophe and have to scramble to cover an unforeseen cost and still keep everything running.
--A couple of weeks ago we lost another junker that was critical to our onward mission of running food drives at concerts and supporting the local communities. We need to raise $1800 in the next 10 days to put a replacement vehicle on the road, or we will be scrambling to cover some major food drive events...
--Please help! Every single donation goes to getting the van. As always all donations go straight toward running things at SHS. Paying for phones, computers, printing, etc... Not a penny goes toward any salaries or to any person.
--Please click the Donate button on this page and do whatever you can to help out. As always, everything helps. We appreciate everyone's support.
Thank you & Peace - Strangers Helping Strangers
Right now in addition to the vehicle we need to replace, we are printing a special poster for 3 upcoming events with fliers... We are giving away a pile of CD's on an upcoming tour. We'll need CD's and sleeves for that too. These are always out of pocket expenses...
