Why is there a cost difference between weekend and three day trips?

Weekend trips are cheaper than 3-day trips because of the length of the trip. Weekends are essentially 1.5 days of serving and three day trips are 2.5-3 days of serving. The additional work involved to set-up the 3-day and the extra meals make the 3-day trip more expensive.

Where does our money go?

Our money goes towards a variety of different places and things. For example, we have a partnership with several other non-profit organizations that receive funds from our groups, in addition to partnering with many local ethnic restaurants. We feel that although it would be more cost-effective to make meals on our own and to work independently with our groups, the partnerships we have create a stronger Twin Cities community and support the work of other great non-profits! Here is a rough break-down of where your money goes (however, the percentages vary based on the size of the group):

45% goes to paying the summer team leaders and staff

28% goes towards food (including supporting local ethnic restaurant owners!)

20% goes towards supporting other non-profits & ministries

7% goes towards program costs (materials, gas, etc)

5% goes towards administrative costs

In the face of the oppressed I recognize my own face, and in the hands of the oppressor I recognize my own hands. Their flesh is my flesh, their blood is my blood, their pain is my pain, their smile is my smile.
