Give
We are dependant on the financial donations of caring individuals to support our services. Our programs are not federally funded and we don't have a direct line to Warren Buffet or Bill Gates! We continue on because people like you give of their resources on a regular basis to keep the wheels of progress turning.
No
matter who you are housewife, student, small business owner,
hourly employee, farmer, retired person - we want you to be able
to have a hand in our success. That's
why our base unit of support is $5 per month, an amount that is
generally affordable by anyone, regardless of how much you make.
Obviously we will accept donations for amount larger than this,
but our goal is to have a large base of supporters to carry the
weight, so that no one is burdened financially.
Without your contributions, we will not succeed in our mission of meeting the needs of the most vulnerable in our society - the elderly, disabled and low income.
You can do that in one of 4 ways:
-
Annual Donation - make your monthly pledge in one
annual payment
Example: $10 for the month = $120 for the year -
Monthly Check mailed to us at:
SCCO
P.O. Box 69
Harlan, IA 51537 -
Electronic Funds Transfer - our preferred method
Your donations comes out of a checking or savings account each month without even having to think about it! - Paypal- If you would like to give a one-time donation now, through Paypal's secure donation system, please click the link below. THIS WILL BE ACTIVATED JULY 2019

Volunteer
This
is the “hands-on” portion of our organization. If you are
interested in helping with a project of some sort, whether
it’s cleaning up a yard filled with weeds or hammering in a
few nails to secure a deck board, there is a work project
waiting for you to help with. Our
volunteers have many different categories to choose from
when they fill out a Skills Response
Card. These cards are then entered into a volunteer
database to keep on file as people to contact in
relationship to what skills they possess. Categories to
choose from include carpentry skills, computer help, yard
work, baking, sewing, etc… Practically everyone has some
sort of talent they could use to help someone who is in
need, but many times it’s just a matter of having an
opportunity to put that skill to good use.
If you are interested in adding your name to our database or
are involved with a group who would be willing to do a work
project,
contact
us or download the
skills card and send it in.

Committees
Every non-profit organization is in need of committees made up of people who have a passion for seeing the end results of what they are involved in. Our committees are just in the formation stages and we could use people who want to be more than a spectator in life to join us in getting them up and running. These are a few of the committees we are in need of:
- Fundraising/Event Planning
- Finance Management
- Counseling/Mentoring
- Housing/Home Repair
- Volunteer Coordination
If you have a desire to be involved in any of these committees or have questions concerning this aspect of the organization, Contact Us.

Advocate
Even
if you aren’t able to serve on a committee or physically help us
with a project, we still need people who will spread the word
about SCCO and our services. All you need are some solid facts
about our organization and a willingness to be vocal when an
opportunity arises. If you would like more information about the
possible ways you can help,
Contact
Us.
