We are blessed to have received 8346 lbs. of food from the Midwest Food Bank and we received a FEMA grant of $1,735.50 for food. Our personal hygiene in-kind donations totaled $493. We provided other items for our guests and clients, including lodging, documents, and storage, and purchased additional food and hygiene items.
