THE MOST EXPENSIVE MINISTRY OUTREACH WAS THE [:QUOTE:]BACK TO SCHOOL BASH[:QUOTE:] THAT WAS HELD AT LAKE TOHO PARK, IN KISSIMMEE, FL. ON AUGUST 8, 2015. OVER 50 FAMILIES ATTENDED THIS EVENT. WE SERVED HOT DOGS, CHIPS, AND SODAS. IN ADDITION TO BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES THAT WERE DISTRIBUTED TO OVER 150 STUDENTS, WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO SUPPLY DRESS CODE APPROPRIATE CLOTHING AND SHOES TO SOME OF THE MORE NEEDY FAMILIES IN THE AREA.

OUR NEXT MOST EXPENSIVE OUTREACH WAS NOT AN EVENT, BUT RATHER AN ON-GOING ACTIVITY OF BENEVOLENT CASH DONATIONS. OUR CASH DONATIONS THIS YEAR SURPASSED CASH DONATIONS IN THE PAST.

THE FUNDS WERE USED FOR INMATE COMMISSARY, CO-PAYS FOR PRESCRIPTIONS, GAS MONEY FOR JOB SEARCH EFFORTS, CO-PAYS FOR DOCTOR VISITS BUS PASSES FOR JOB SEARCH EFFORTS DIAPERS FOR INFANTS ETC.
