Every dollar, on a spending sheet.

Questions people ask
Is money taken on this page?
No. This is a concept campaign. Nothing is charged and nothing you type leaves your browser.
Can I give time instead?
Two hours on a doorstep is worth more than fifty dollars. Pick a shift on the volunteer page.
What happens to money left over?
It goes to the Harbour Trust flood fund, and the sheet shows the transfer.
