GOALS 2003

Our Primary Goal for 2003 is to raise enough money to open the Close to You School in January of 2004. We have estimated that we will need $70,000, as well as donations of office equipment and computers to make this dream possible. Our Secondary Goal for 2003 is to continue helping people with special needs. You can help us meet our goals by purchasing coffee, making financial donations, or donating specific items.

Who We Are

Close to You, Inc. is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization in Wyoming, U.S.A. It has U.S. tax exempt status. It is run by a small board of directors in the United States and by the founders in El Salvador, Central America. The corporation functions to raise money for various aid projects and to organize and administer these projects. It is a non-denominational Christian aid organization. It is not a church. The current board of directors are all Sabbath-observing Christians that attend with different organizations.
Mission Statement

The mission of Close to You, Inc. is simply to help the materially poor by providing for their physical, educational, and employment needs. With this help, the poor can then begin to help themselves. Our focus is on El Salvador and Central America in general, but if the need arises, we are willing to help people world-wide. Our financial goal is to keep administrative costs at a minimum so that the maximum amount of each donation reaches those who need it. We have vowed never to use credit to purchase goods or services.

Our primary reason for starting Close to You, Inc. is to help the members of our church (James 2:15-16; I John 3:17). We have determined that the best way to help them is to: 1) provide education for their children; 2) provide jobs for the unemployed; and 3) provide financial assistance to help them become self-sufficient.

Our secondary reason for starting Close to You, Inc. is to help the abandoned, orphaned, and abused children of El Salvador (Psalms 82:3; James 1:27). God, as the Father of the fatherless (Psalms 68:5) expects us, as the brothers and sisters of the fatherless, to care for them and provide for their needs.
