In 2013 we collected $1613, what an incredible blessing from the community to C.O.P.S. Thank you for your generosity!
In 2012 we collected over $1000 thanks to our generous guests. We donated all the collections to C.O.P.S. just like every year. Thank you for visiting and giving to those less fortunate.
In 2011 we collected over $600 thanks to the generous donations from people. We give to C.O.P.S. which has a website listed below. We hit our goal of putting a zero behind last years donations, thanks everyone!
We put out a donation box (2010), but didn't make a big deal about it this year. We figured we would sit it out there and maybe make a sign next year, we did announce it once an hour between songs to let people know it was there. We still accumulated about $50. So we were thankful to be able to give it to the C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors) organization: http://www.nationalcops.org/
They help support the families left behind from Police Officers who were killed in the line of duty. It's a great charity with a worthy cause and we encourage you to check out their website.

James 2:14-17
Faith without Good Deeds Is Dead
14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?
17 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.
