PRIMARY EXEMPT PURPOSE
FORM 990-EZ, PART III
AS WITH NATURAL DISASTERS THERE ARE STAGES TO THE COMPLETE RECOVERY OF A COMMUNITY. THESE INCLUDE: SEARCH AND RESCUE, RELIEF EFFORTS, REBUILDING AND RESTORATION. SIMILAR TO NATURAL DISASTERS, THERE ARE STAGES IN ADMINISTERING AID TO THOSE EXPERIENCING DISASTERS IN THEIR PERSONAL LIVES. WE ARE THANKFUL FOR AGENCIES/ORGANIZATIONS/CHURCHES THAT PROVIDE RELIEF IN MINISTERING TO INDIVIDUALS, BUT SO MANY TIMES THE HELP IS TEMPORARY FOR EXAMPLE FEEDING THE HUNGRY, PROVIDING CLOTHING, PAYING OVER-DUES BILLS, ETC. FREQUENTLY, THESE RELIEF EFFORTS ARE LACKING IN WAYS TO IDENTIFY THE BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS THE INDIVIDUALS ARE EXPERIENCING, OR TO EQUIP AND SUPPORT THEM AS THEY SEEK TO MOVE FORWARD FROM THEIR DISASTERS. CLERESTORY IDENTIFIED THIS GAP IN MERCY/MISSION/RELIEF EFFORTS. INITIATIVES WERE IMPLEMENTED TO PROVIDE GENUINE OPPORTUNITIES FOR INDIVIDUALS TO ENGAGE LIFE AND SOCIETY WITH DIGNITY, STRENGTH AND HEALTH. BEHIND ALL THE INITIATIVES IS THE DESIRE TO SEE THE BROKEN RELATIONSHIPS MENDED AND FOR THE RESTORATION OF A LIFE.

HOW OFTEN DO WE TAKE TRANSPORTATION FOR GRANTED? TRANSPORTATION FOR MANY IS A BARRIER TO GAINING AND MAINTAINING EMPLOYMENT. THIS BARRIER BECOMES EVEN MORE OF A CHALLENGE WHEN PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS CAN'T ADEQUATELY SERVE INDIVIDUALS IN THE COMMUNITY WORKING NIGHT SHIFTS OR WEEKENDS. THROUGH AN AFFORDABLE CAR PROGRAM, THIS BARRIER TO EMPLOYMENT IS BEING REMOVED. WOULD YOU CONSIDER DONATING YOUR USED CAR TO MILO, SO MORE INDIVIDUALS CAN BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES?
