The Storehouse is in the middle of a crisis as donations are down by 62% versus the same time last year. It is essential that The Storehouse increase its donor base in order to meet the need of the individuals and families that we serve. It is important that donations not fall at this level again and we certainly need to be proactive in our attempts to keep the donations up to the minimum level to cover our most basic needs.
There is a problem with the economy. It has not gotten much better and the end is not really in sight. The Storehouse provides the community with a great deal of nutritional support, hygiene products and clothes for those who are in great need. We provide the homeless food, clothing and a place that is warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
How can we continue to serve these individuals and families without the proper amount of money to by the food and hygiene products that they desperately need? We can't. We will have to serve fewer people. That means, more people will go hungry.
Take time to look at your budget and see if you can serve The Storehouse with a donation on a regular basis. See if you can help us find other donors if you can't donate yourself. There are many ways that you can help and we need all the help that we can get.
Reaching people right here and right now,

HI, I'm Irene with the Democratic Party of Henderson County. Would you be interested in manning a Storehouse table at our convention on April 9 for a few hours? Sounds like we can help you get some things. We can advertise that you will be there to tell to the Dems coming in who you are, what you are about and what you need. We can also ask them to bring items you might need. Call me so we can talk, I left my phone number on the message machine in your office.
