Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

- $999 spent. StreetSide Showers - Run by a non-denominational pastor StreetSide Showers offers weekly showers clothing and a meal for the homeless. Our Council provides meals on two Saturdays per month. The vast majority of food costs is not captured as it is donated by our individual members as needed. However the Council contributed $998.85 toward these meals in 2025. We also collected new underwear and socks that were distributed to homeless men and women.
- Fish Fry - The purpose of this program is to foster unity within the Council with a fundraiser for the Council to support charitable giving.
