1st Street Armoury
Description
Our main goal is to encourage and empower the people of our community to forge positive paths in order to enhance society. 1st Street Armoury provides services for adults and children. At Starting Point Homeless Recovery Shelters we provide housing to both single mothers/children and single men to help them on their road to recovery and independence. For children, we have Operation Backpack which provides food on weekends during school year for students in MR238 School District with most need; Energy League, an after school program for children in the Lincoln Homes neighborhood; and Break the Cycle, an earn a bike program for any child who volunteers in the community and meets expected goals of program.

We had such a fun filled night this past Saturday at our Operation Backpack Celebrity Waiter fundraiser. A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the cause and an even bigger thanks to all the volunteers, dessert and special contributors, entertainers- you guys were awesome, and of course the celebrity waiters, the Monmouth College Football team-you all were beyond amazing; we feel truly blessed to live in such a great community where compassion (and a sense of humor) abounds.

We can't believe it's been over 3 weeks since we drew a winner for our House Give-Away Raffle. We would like to take a moment to thank everyone for participating in this fundraiser from purchasing a ticket, to selling tickets to helping us promote the raffle. The money raised from this fundraiser is being used to help keep our 4 key programs operational- Starting Point Shelters, Operation Backpack, Energy League After School, and Break the Cycle Youth Mentoring.

Bids can be mailed to 1st Street Armoury, 215 South 1st St, Monmouth Attn Amy. Bids must be accompanied with proof of pre-approval. Bids must be in no later than 4:00 pm on Wednesday, March 15th. The winning bid is responsible for all closing costs. Thanks again to everyone who donated either in funds, time or talent to help us put forth a worthy fundraiser!!
