We have been very fortunate to have many volunteers for our afterschool and day camp programs. The donated supplies and food have helped us reach out to the neediest children and allowed us to use our funds to help pay some other local young people as junior counselors, giving them an opportunity to learn responsibilities and have some job experiences. We also provide an opportunity for those needing or desiring volunteer work or community service a place to connect and really make a difference. We have had many volunteer students from both college and high school levels. There is a great deal of outside regional support for the RENA community. A proposed budget outline is projected below. We have had many regular donors, recurring grants and other in -kind donations. We propose growing all those opportunities and more to increase and maintain a sustainable operating budget. We are looking forward to events such as movie nights, holiday celebrations and community wide dinners.
