How Our Services Add Up
FoNP is open 365 days a year.
FoNP gives supportive services to the homeless,
poor, low-income, unemployed and displaced, children, women, men, the elderly, and the disabled in our
community.
FoNP currently volunteer groups, made up of
churches, parishes, temples, businesses, elementary and high schools, colleges, unions, fraternities
and sororities, civic- and community-based groups, and many others.
It takes at least seven volunteers to run a shift.
This includes preparing, cooking and serving meals, and running necessary errands. This works out to
be 210 volunteers a month, volunteering an average of six hours a day
each. That's a whopping 525 hours a month saving FoNP
annually (figuring a $8.00 per hour).
