Bryan Community Pur$e: Sharing is caring

Sharing is caring

So a friend of ours left the mission because he didn't like it and now he's staying in a place that costs 50 bucks a week. He's trying to find work with mixed success; yesterday we shared $50 bucks with him to get his rent paid for the next week and we also shared $15 with him so he won't be sweating food for the next few meals. It felt really great :) Thanks for making it possible. Right now we don't have any money in the purse except for $400 that has specifically been set aside for a particular family's needs.

Mission Statement

To share wealth with those in need in our community in a simple, neighbor-to-neighbor fashion.

We are trying to believe in sharing wealth instead of hoarding up wealth, not in word but in deed. And this is one way we do it.

Gandhi said that there is enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed. We are trying to respond to that in a small way.

Many of the people who we share money with are part of our potluck meal community at Neal Park as well as our Pilgrims in the Park church.

The money is to be shared for any need. All money spent is listed on this blog.

How to give to this

This account is a checking account in Dan's name.

PO BOX 2343
Bryan, Tx 77806

Checks need to be made out to Dan Kiniry

It's not in an organization's name because we don't have an official organization.

You can also give money directly to Dan. He promises not to steal it. It might not be optimal, but it's just a lot easier than starting a non-profit with positions and stuff. If you have any ideas of how to make this more better, please do share.

It's probably just as good or better just to directly help someone out, skipping over this fund. We have this fund because needs come up really often and this will help us meet those needs as they come up, since people often bring up their needs at the potlucks on the weekends.
