What does $10 buy?

Posted on June 3, 2013 by
 At the IRC $10 buys a full day of service for someone dealing with homelessness.  That day could include a shower, a load of laundry, a visit with a nurse, a chance to make phone calls and pick up mail, a job skills class, a meeting with a housing counselor and more.  
 
At the IRC $10 buys a better tomorrow.
