Every once in a while I am completely shocked to the point of being speechless. It doesn’t happen often, but this week I was pleasantly shocked. I had a former program participant drop of some donated food and this person handed me an envelope with a cash donation. This person donated back $1000. By no means does Edgerton Outreach expect anything back in return for our services.This particular person was forced to not work due to serious complications due to diabetes. He fought through the multiple year process to gain disability benefits. This person received back pay on their benefits and choose to donate some of that money back. It made me realize that if we all had that same spirit of giving the world would be a better place.
We appreciate all the support that we receive from our community. Donations of time, money, and food all help to support our mission.
