What is Day In The Life?
Day In The Life is Good Works’ yearly fundraiser to raise as much support as possible in the life of the Timothy House for the year 2024. These funds cover staffing, utilities, insurance, repairs and some food and supplies (although most of our food and supplies are donated). We estimate one day to cost about $500. So, for us to cover the expenses of an entire year we need $500 x 365 days. We hope you’ll join us to reach…
1 x 500 x 365
Why Day In The Life?
Good Works is entirely supported by donations
The community of Good Works only works when we work together. So, we need your help! The goal of DAY IN THE LIFE is to raise funds to cover as many days as possible in the life of The Timothy House for 2024. These funds cover staffing, utilities, insurance, repairs and some food and supplies (although most of our food and supplies are donated). We estimate one day to be about $500.00
Some History
For 17 consecutive years, Good Works sponsored The Good Works WALK (originally called The Walk For The Homeless) to create an experience through which participants could better understand the situation of poverty and homelessness and to raise funds for The Good Works Timothy House. This annual event was held initially in January to celebrate the vision and values of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and eventually moved to February to accommodate the changes in the Ohio University schedule. February 23, 2019 was the last WALK.
