The Charlotte Observer carries the following story on our budget shortfall. As of December 31st, 2009 our operating budget is about $167,000 short.
Just weeks after going public with a $10 million capital campaign to expand a rehab program for women, Charlotte Rescue Mission is reporting it’s short of money for day-to-day operations.
Mission officials say donations were $238,000 short of projections in December, historically one of its best months for fund raising. That’s nearly 5 percent of the agency’s annual budget, said Tony Marciano, the mission’s executive director. The shortfall has been whittled to $167,000, thanks to a series of cuts to such things as food costs and office contracts.
