Projects
Our projects fall into two basic categories:
- Service to our community and
- Fund raising that supports our service (locally 70%, nationally 20% and internationally 10%)
While we support any worthwhile project though we favour projects that have little or no administrative costs (more bang for the volunteered dollars.)
Our pillars of support:
Vision
Childhood Cancer
Environment
Hunger
Diabetes
