DONATIONS FOR MOUNTAINTOP GROUPS The One Mountain Foundation accepts tax-deductible donations for the following Mountaintop groups: "Help Hotline" The Help Hotline is a community resource serving our Mountaintop region. In 2009, the Help Hotline assisted a total of 234 families, an increase of 23% over 2008. Assistance was with food, rent, electric, clothing, and holiday dinners and presents, though the predominance of assistance was with food. The regional Mountaintop churches lend their support through the donation of non-perishable food and paper products. OMF provided assistance to the Help Hotline by conducting a Benefit Bingo in March to raise needed cash to allow the Director of the Help Hotline to purchase perishable food, like bread, milk and meat to provide to their clients with the canned and dry packaged food, and also for the purchase of paper products, like paper towels and toilet paper. Tax-deductible donations can be made to the One Mountain Foundation. 100% of the donation will be passed to the Help Hotline. Please designate on your donation that the contribution is for the Help Hotline. .................................................................................................................
