Unfortunately, that $1,000 is only 1% of what we need! We really believe that many people giving just a little can make such a difference...it can mean steady jobs for 35 people and food on the table for their families. To make this work, we need all of you to ask 10 friends to give $10.
The members of Genesis have worked 2 years with no pay...and they need to put in their floor now. We need $6,700 to buy all the metal that will reinforce their concrete floor. We have someone who invested their inheritance at 0% to the Shared Risk Investment Fund and with that and what we have raised through the Stone Soup Fund, we can now buy the metal! If you know anyone who can invest for 5 years at 0-5% interest, please put them in touch with us at jhc@jhc-cdca.org.
Genesis can now put the metalwork together while we raise the money to buy concrete.
This past week, friends have asked us lots of good questions about the Stone Soup Fund:
- How can people who aren't on Facebook give? You can go to our website at www.jhc-cdca.org/credit.html to give online securely OR simply send a check to: CDCA - Stone Soup, 352 Carly Lane, Rock Hill, SC 29732
- If I pass this on to my friends, will they get on a mailing list? No. They can simply give $10 and never have to hear from us again. If they'd like to get a statement for their taxes, please let us know. For anyone who wants to get on the mailing list, you can sign up by writing: sarah@jhc-cdca.org
- How do I donate on Facebook? If you or your friends have a Facebook account just click here then click on "donate" and you can give securely using a credit card. Your gift will show up here on our goal thermometer.
- Why such an ambitious goal? $100,000 is a lot! Yes, it is. But we've already invested $140,000 in the spinning plant construction through our Shared Risk Investment Fund, and Genesis members have contributed 1,000 hours each with no pay. With that in mind, the remaining $100,000 for the building is within reach!
