Please be patient as we develop our website at 728b.org. That will be up and functioning soon. Detailed and updated information will be found there, as well as more convenient methods of giving to our cause.
Please note that 100 cents of every dollar donated for each specific project will go to transportation of supplies and volunteers, or to the purchase of supplies once our volunteers are on the ground.
Absolutely no administrative costs are embedded in the project budgets. We have a separate endowment to cover those costs.
We have four on-going endeavors we will organize and support with your help. All four identify specific needs in areas of the world that are currently not served or are under-served.
The name of each mission is a Hebrew word defining the overall goal:
