​Why Give:

​“Homelessness is just misunderstood.” 
-Chris Benson, BB&T  Bank C.O.O.

 According to CAPSAW’s 2015 data, “15.6% of Waynesboro’s households were struggling to pay bills and put food on the table and 28.6% of children were living in these conditions. As these families struggled, [in Waynesboro,] some lost their homes, were forced to live in cars, find temporary housing or live on the streets [or in hotels].”  (News Virginian)

“Rich and poor have this in common: the LORD is the Maker of them all.” -Proverbs 22:2
