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