During the tax year, Friends of Mary's Hands directed all donations to support Marijine Ruke's charitable programs. These funds enabled the distribution of approximately 500 packages of food, clothing, and shoes each month to families in need. Donations also supported initiatives that help residents plant vegetable gardens for food sustainability, pay utility bills, purchase medications for individuals with no income, and provide temporary and permanent housing for families in crisis. Additionally, during the winter months, the organization supplied firewood for home heating.Expenses $5,487
