Two Ways You Can Help Now - The Foundation will bring our first ever formal Capital Campaign to a close on December 31, 2009. We need your help in raising $135,758.00 to complete our $1.1 million building debt reduction. This is so important because without the facilities we have, we could not provide housing for so many in need. Please send your contribution or make an online contribution today and designate it to the Alston Wilkes Foundation Capital Campaign.
