Current Economic Conditions and The Affect on SPAN and Neighbors in Need

 As our nation deals with the financial crisis and bailout, SPAN knows that with bad news at the top, there is more to be seen at the bottom. When we add the recent news with the downturn in the economy, SPAN is seeing very severe cases. SPAN compared 2008’s past 7 months’ client aid disbursements to 2007’s, and found a 68% increase in client aid spending at $88,700. When we did the same with donations, SPAN saw a 21.4% increase or $76,800 this year. We are seeing changes in our client base too. There are first-time clients at an all time high, now averaging 35% of our clients a month. And the homeless are depending on SPAN’s services in record numbers. Just in September, we helped 5 homeless families and individuals with food and resources. SPAN is working with other agencies to find relief for the homeless. Presently, they live in cars, with friends and yes, in tents. We are now turning to the community for help. Please remember us in financial donationsfrom events, groups and individual contributions. Thank You.
