An Invitation to End Homelessness on Vashon

VINESlogoJoin our campaign to support the Vashon Interfaith Council on Homelessness (IFCH), an island non-profit working on a shoestring budget to meet the essential needs of islanders barely getting by.
 
On January 13th, VINES will initiate an island-wide email fundraising campaign with a goal of raising $20,000.  For your convenience, you can donate-on-line right here and now, and all proceeds will go to IFCH.  If you would prefer to contribute by check, please mail it to IFCH, PO Box 330, Vashon, WA 98070.
 
Give now to keep our neighbors working and in their homes, with the heat on, and the refrigerator stocked!
