I figured I should post this here since I don't have a facebook to post it on like everyone else in the family. :V If this should go on a different board go ahead and move it.
My dad works at a place called Hiram Farm. It's a nonprofit organization that basically give adults with autism something constructive to do. He also works at Whitehaven, which is basically an apartment for mentally handicapped people in general, and is run by the same people, but that's another story. The farm is just getting started up, and everything is still being built, but there are already 13 people participating, with probably more on the way. Right now, there's... really not much built, mostly due to funding issues.
That's where you guys can come in.
The farm recently applied for a grant from the Pepsi Refresh Project. Each month, Pepsi gives out grants to various local projects. After about a month of voting, the top 10 each get a grant of $5,000, $25,000, $50,000, or $250,000, depending on what category they entered (the Farm's in the $50k group). The money, if the Farm win any, is going to be used to get an actual building so that they don't have to set up tents or go to the (rented) office half a mile down the road every time the weather decides to be a dick.
After everyone in the family plastered the link around Facebook (aside from me, because I don't have one :P), Hiram Farm went from around sixty-something-th place to 41st. I, feeling a bit guilty over not having advertised this, am putting the link over here.
