PayPal Monetary Donations: Money raised is used to purchase needed supplies, emergency hotel rooms for at-risk people, food, gas for our vans, and much more. Due to a large (and growing) need in the Chippewa Valley, we are constantly low on funds, making it difficult to provide for those in need. Please consider a tax-deducible donation to CVSM - 100% of donated money is used to help people who are homeless, needy, or trafficked.
On the PayPal checkout page, please add in the "add a note" section weather you want your donation to go to the STREET ministry or the RURAL ministry.
Donations Needed:
We urgently need the items listed below. Please consider donating! All donations are TAX DEDUCTIBLE, contact us for information!

We desperately need CANDY and other food items such as GRANOLA BARS, Small 'fun sized' candy, crackers, etc -- individually wrapped. Please donate if you can, perhaps you employer or group that you belong to would consider a donation. Contact us with questions.
We are in great need of BACKPACKS!!! The people we serve depend on backpacks to carry their belongings, often everything they own, from place to place.
Underwear: Men's & Women's, new in package preferred.

We do not hand out cash and occasionally have requests for help paying for gas, and when we put someone in a motel at night we need to provide food for them. Gas and food cards are a big help!
