So you'll notice that to the left
<--------
There is a handy dandy button that allows you to donate to Project Fellowship!! We are very excited to finally be at this point so please, make sure to donate as much or as little as you can budget, every penny counts.

Also, we now have an "official" Facebook page, you can find the Like Box to the left as well, below the "my button". Head on over and like us and show your support!!

In other news, we are waiting to get our bank cards before we can open an Etsy store, so that will take another week or so, and we are still trying to raise enough money to launch a website.

Today I am scheduled to have a phone chat with Brenda from Brenda's Cafe here in town about hosting a fundraiser for us. Ideally we would have a breakfast shift in which the restaurant would donate a percentage of the shifts profits. We will pray and see what God wants in this.

That being said, now that we are a Non-Profit, I need to make sure that everything is up to standard. This website would allow a secure place for you all to access our financial reports, minute meetings, make donations and purchase bags all in one place. We'll still keep up with this blog, and there will be a link to this on the site, but We need to be professional, and having everything on a free blog rather than a site is not my ideal situation, although I am grateful for the ability to have anything at all.

One last thing, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign up to follow this blog. The link to do that is on the left. Once we get up and running we'll be posting specials and other news on here and we don't want you to miss out on the exciting growth of this ministry!!

The Ball is Rolling

This week I opened a business account for Project Fellowship which means my second-to-last task is to open an Etsy Store. My final task is to sell bags.

I'm so close!

I'll set up the store in the next couple of days, will you tell your friends? Will you buy a bag or two?

I'll post a link here as soon as it's ready to go.

We've done it!

Okay, folks, we've done it! We are officially a Non-Profit Organization with an EIN!! I have enough money to open a bank account, so tomorrow after doing my grocery shopping {yay food} I'll stop at the bank and set it up!!

I cannot tell you how excited I am!! THANK YOU for all of your prayers and please continue to share Project Fellowship with your friends and family. We still need your support.

We have had 2 independent Angel Food orders for March, which is WAY awesome, and I'm hoping to build up even more than that.

Last week we delivered food to around 20 homes, amen!!

Keep up the good work and let's feed even more this month!!

currently at PF....

Well, we have lots of bags, and I'm one document away from becoming incorporated, which means I'm one document away from opening a bank account for this ministry, but I'm in a predicament.

Because I made a food order this month, I no longer have enough money to open an account once I file my paperwork, so I desperately need to sell these bags. However, in order to sell the bags online, I need a bank account!!!!

Do you see how I'm stuck, here?

So what I need is this:

I need you to spread the word, poeples!! I need you to help me sell this stuff. Even if you can't purchase one yourself, or donate money for PF, you can tell your friends and family about this and ask them to participate and help by buying a bag or two!!

I'm counting on you all!!

We have the potential of being huge, and helping hundreds of families, but we need your help!!

Share this post with everyone you know and let's see how many of these bags we can sell!!

Sole Proprietorship here we come!!

I just got done filing for Sole Proprietorship!!

I finally discovered a great site www.business.com and eFiled.

I decided to do this after visiting the bank today to get info, and finding out that I can open a business account there with just my certificate of Sole Proprietorship or registered Trade Name, so I did both!!

I don't know how long before I will get a response or how long until I get the certificate, but my wonderful husband spotted me the $20.00 to get it done.

I am so excited, guys!! This means we're like, official!!

Ok, well, almost, but still, things are moving right along and I can't be happier!!!!

first step

I applied for an account at our local bank today. I did it all online {totally convenient} so I guess I'm supposed to hear back sometime today on if I was approved or not.

We'll see. It would be pretty awesome  to get everything set up today, but I would still stop in tomorrow to double check everything.

Wish us luck!!

goals/wish list

There are several goals that I desire for PF, and several of those goals could be considered wishlist items, as well. I know this may not turn into much more than me and my family giving food to people once a month, but it's healthy to look towards a bigger picture. Here is my current list:

Bank Account - this is happening on Thursday, if all goes according to plan
Online store - to sell bags
Sell 100 bags -  a small goal to start with is always better
GET 100 shirts - to make the bags that I am going to sell
Get real sponsors - It would be great to have someone help us out
Go State-wide - La Plata County isn't the only place in Colorado that needs help
Go Nation-wide - Colorado isn't the only state that needs help

No too much, right?

Through God all things are possible
