you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you
yourselves were suffering."
Hebrews 13:3

How You Can Help
The Architect has estimated that the Religious Services Center will cost approximately $500,000.00 to construct. The Community Resource Council (CRC) has already lined up a significant portion of this cost from foundations and other organizations that have pledged to help. The CRC needs to raise approximately $150,000.00 from individuals and faith communities in order to begin construction. What can you do? 1) Make a donation. All donations should be made to ‘The Pender Development Fund’, which is the fund raising arm of the CRC. The Pender Development Fund is a tax exempt charity and all gifts are fully deductible from both state and federal income taxes. 2) Talk to your church, synagogue, mosque, or other house of worship about making a contribution. 3) Make an ‘in kind’ donation of building materials or equipment needed for the building. No gift is too large or too small. Together they all will make a difference in the lives of inmates for years to come. Ninety three percent of all inmates will be released from prison back into the community. The Religious Services Center is a tool to help put these men back on the right track so that they can be productive citizens when they return to society. What will your part be?
