$1 per week

• Two nights in a shelter for a homeless family of four.
• Twelve days of rehabilitative therapy for a child with developmental disabilities.
• A nursing visit to an elderly person recovering from surgery.

$5 per week

• Five months of dinner meals for a senior citizen.
• Distribution of surplus food to 300 families.

$10 per week

• Basic necessities for a family of six who are victims of a fire.
• Eleven sessions of psychiatric care for a mentally ill individual.
• A hot, nutritious meal for 100 homeless, indigent people.

$20 per week

• Fifteen days in a shelter with counseling for a battered woman and her children.
• One year of activities for three children in a community program.
• Six months of therapy for a low-income family addressing teenage suicide.
