Help - Financial Crisis!

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

SHS is in dire need of a replacement vehicle immediately!

Our minivan is dead! Transmission... it was always meant to be a stop gap vehicle when we put it on the road a few months ago...

So we need a minivan, small van truck or SUV, station wagon or even a car for the moment to keep things running.

Does anyone have a cheap'ish vehicle they want to part with immediately?

We have some money we can access immediately but not nearly enough for a vehicle, and can run a fund-raiser specifically for a vehicle...

HELP!

Poster Design for Strangefolk Reunion Shows

Attention Strangefolk, Strangefolk Reunion & 'Folk Freaks Unite!and any other of the fans of our favorite band. 

Strangers Helping Strangers is going to be printing a special edition poster for the coming run of shows at the end of the month. We're looking for someone with skills and means to design the poster. We have some ideas and may actually have a starting base, but need someone to make it happen... Let us know if you are interested. Peace - SHS
