There is a great need in our
city... Operation
STITCHES
is doing it's part to answer the call of bringing positive hope in a
practical way to the needy and hurting. It is a disadvantaged
environment
that these inner-city children reside. Will you partner with us to see
this work continue to grow?
Ongoing
running costs
-
lease of community centre;
- community centre utilities;
-
food supplies;
-
activity supplies (balloons, craft, etc.)
-
groceries for parents in need;
-
toys and prizes for program activities;
-
christmas gifts for children and parents;
-
colour printing of pamphlets;
-
mail out costs;
-
petrol, registration and insurance of vehicles and
trailers;
-
public liability insurance;
We are constantly in need
of purchasing
new equipment and the maintenance to existing. It is vital that our
equipment is kept to a high level of safety and attraction. To enable
this there is the ongoing costs of materials & labour.
 
Expanding
the vision expense
- Purchase or lease of adjoining warehouse space to enable us
to cater for more children attending our indoor programs;
- Extra staff to take on areas of responsibilities to enable
the expansion of this work;
- Purchase
of a large bus to transport the many children from nearby public
housing estates to attend our programs. Most of these children could
not come unless we collect them.
