The B&R advocacy center is currently facing a severe shortage of operating and maintenance funds, preventing us from providing services to those in need. Any donations will allow us to continue to give dynamic financial assistance to low- and no-income people experiencing crises. Donations of any amount are welcome and can be mailed to or dropped off at the Bread & Roses Advocacy Center at 1009 4th Ave E., Olympia, 98506. We are open Monday-Friday 9am-1130am & 1pm-430pm. Any questions can be directed to 754-4588 or 481-2559.

Submitted by Rob Richards on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 3:42pm.I'm not sure that this is helpful
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 4:52pm.But I highly suggest a strategic plan with self sustainability programming. Some fund raising events? Grants?
It would probably raise more funding than direct ask in crisis.
grant-writing is a long and arduous process
Submitted by DSnyder on Wed, 04/09/2008 - 6:09pm.that wouldn't be at all practical for the purposes of finding immediate relief. grants are helpful in the long-term, but they have little ability to reflect short-term fluctuation in demand for services.
perhaps some clarification is needed. this post wasn't an attempt to have olyblog readers shoulder the operating costs of B&R, and it isn't the result of a lack of foresight. it is a call for help so we can continue to provide services during a period of relatively high demand.
