Fund Drive

From 1968, the Outreach Council had worked from donated space, which frequently changed. In 1997, we acquired a run-down home, which was converted to a pleasant homeless shelter — (Bridgehaven, 109 W. 2nd St., Waverly, OH.) In 2002, the two-story building next door (107 W. 2nd St.) became available. For the first time ever, we were able to dispense food and other services from a single location.

In March of 2004, the Bridgehaven mortgage was paid in full, a new back door was installed in the Emergency Services building, the parking lot had gravel applied, and electrical work was completed.


FUNDING

The Outreach Council is funded through its Friends and Supporters, regional church bodies, local congregations, organizations, companies, the CROP walk, volunteers and grants.
