The search for funding is constant and utilizes resources which might otherwise be directed toward our mission of repairing substandard housing. Since late 2009, several anticipated sources of funding have been decreased or forced to deny The Carpenter's Helper funding. Long-time supporters United Way of Southeast Mississippi and the Greater Hattiesburg Home Builders Association continue their commitment, and new partnerships are being forged with Jarden Consumer Solutions, Hardy Street Baptist Church, Temple Baptist Church, and other organizations.
There are many ways that you can make a difference in South Mississippi housing for the elderly, disabled, widowed, and those otherwise unable to repair their shelter.
There are many other ways of investing in Carpenter's helper other than finacially. You can invest by volunteering in one of several capacities. Skilled and unskilled volunteer labor help stretch the money which makes us able to help more people. You can also invest in TCH by donating leftover building supplies. If you have a desire to come along side of us as we help the substandard living conditions one family at a time, then please contact us.
If you choose to make a financial contribution, you may donate directly to The Carpenter's Helper by pledge or check sent to: The Carpenter's Helper, 629 North Main St, Hattiesburg, MS 39401.
The United Way of Southeast Mississippi also provides a unique donation opportunity with their yearly campaign. You may have a portion of your paycheck earmarked for TCH. United Way automatically deducts this donation from each paycheck and delivers the total to TCH once a month.
Since TCH is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity, all donations of time, materials, or money are 100% tax deductible.
