Our thinking has always been that a small donation of time or money can make a big difference in an individual life or the life of a family.  Yesterday, we had someone tell us he is making  a $10 monthly donation to The $10/20 Project.  Thank you to our newest friend and supporter.  Your $10 donation each month will help someone who has an immediate need for food, shelter, clothing, or medication.  Your $10 monthly donation will make a big difference in the life of The $10/20 Project.  Thank you, and welcome.

Because of your generosity and support, what started as a gift (you can read more about that on the ‘about’ page) has turned into “our $10/20 project.”  The $10/20 Project meets small needs on a daily basis.  Sometimes, the world becomes overwhelming.  The hardships of our economy continue to pound at individual lives, the political arena is plain nasty, and the realities of war hit home or very close to home  for many of us.  Earlier this week, NPR ran a heartbreaking story about the harshness of rape and violation of women from ages 2-82  in Haiti.  Sometimes, the world seems overwhelming.  By looking around our individual world, wherever that is, we see small needs that can be met.  We are not powerless, and we can make a difference in our families, in our neighborhoods, in our communities.  Can you organize something?  Write a piece?  Compose a song?   Give a homeless person a bottle of water?  Clean out your closet and donate clothes and shoes to a local agency?   Use what you have, wherever you are, and share it with someone who needs it today.
