Seems like the Alliance is hurting but getting services from what Im told is rediculous, food pantry and a one way bus ticket is all the offer from what I hear. Im sure its all non profit and lives off the donations intended for Aids and HIV positives.....In a town which touts itself on being the leader in HIV prevention and research why is it NC has the highest number on the adap list? maybe because all the jobs are taken by researchers and doctors and poor people have nothing better to do than fu** and wait for a monthly check......Im sure its more than that but jobs here are nonexistant unless your in the loop....this town will wear ya out! ...read more
Did you know that you can build a Habitat for Humanity home without ever picking up a hammer? In 1991, the first Habitat for Humanity ReStore was launched in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Since then, ReStores have expanded to more than 920 stores in five countries and have raised over $100 million to build and repair homes for hardworking families. That’s right. When you shop, donate or volunteer at a Habitat ReStore, you are building homes and hope all over the world. ReStores operate as nonprofits under Habitat for Humanity affiliates. They share the same mission: Seeking to put God’s love into action, Habitat for Humanity brings people together to build homes, communities and hope. The purpose ReStores is to raise additional funding to support this mission. Secondary benefits of ReStores include: providing access to lower-cost building materials and household goods to the community, being a public face of Habitat for Humanity in local communities, providing additional volunteer and sweat-equity opportunities, and keeping usable items out of the landfill. Here are three easy ways you can support the ReStore: Donate: We accept new and gently used appliances, furniture, building materials, household goods and more from individuals and companies.
